Knowledge representation and inference in expert systems for hydraulic structure design

Starting from an investigation into the real process of hydraulic structure design , this paper puts forth, with its characteristics being analysed, some forms of knowledge representation for engineering design expert systems. The corresponding inference methods are also been studied. Experts' knowledge and thumb rules play their part mainly in the concept design stage and plan modification stage of a design project. This paper gives a new kind of knowledge representatin, association tables, to resemble experts in synthesizing designs and modifying plans. Along with association tables, other complementory representations and inference methods are also adopted and modified to serve the building of a hydraulic structure design expert system.
