With the development of engine supercharging technology and the application of in-cylinder direct injection technology, engines with high power and torque have become a trend. Crankshaft, as one of the most important and expensive parts in tractor engine, plays the role of transforming linear motion into circular rotation. The damage and destruction of crankshaft will lead to the damage of other parts of the engine, which makes the engine unable to work normally, and its stability affects the reliability of the whole engine to a great extent. The main failure form of tractor engine crankshaft is bending fatigue failure, so alternating bending stress occurs in crankshaft, which may cause fatigue failure of crankshaft. Crankshaft is one of the important components of tractor engine, and its stress is complex, which is the key and difficult point of engine design. In this paper, the crankshaft of tractor engine is analysed and studied based on compound supercharging technology, so that the dynamic characteristics of the engine are deeply understood, the action law of dynamic working load is mastered, the response analysis and evaluation of the system are carried out, and the optimization method of crankshaft mechanism of agricultural tractor engine is found out.

The process of reviewing test data for anomalies after a firing of the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) is a complex, time-consuming task. A project is under way to provide the team of SSME experts with a knowledge-based system to assist in the review and diagnosis task. A model-based approach was chosen because it can be adapted to changes in engine design, is easier to maintain, and can be explained more easily. A complex thermodynamic fluid system like the SSME introduces problems during modeling, analysis, and diagnosis which have as yet been insufficiently studied. We developed a qualitative constraint-based diagnostic system inspired by existing qualitative modeling and constraint-based reasoning methods which addresses these difficulties explicitly. Our approach combines various diagnostic paradigms seamlessly, such as the model-based and heuristic association-based paradigms, in order to better approximate the reasoning process of the domain experts. The end-user interface allows expert users to actively participate in the reasoning process, both by adding their own expertise and by guiding the diagnostic search performed by the system.
