INCLUDING SYSTEMATIC FAULTS INTO FAULT TREE ANALYSIS [PDF]
: Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a technique widely used for fault forecasting of physical systems. Although FTA is considered a well established safety analysis technique, paradoxically classical Fault Trees include only random faults. However, in modem automated systems, undesirable events arise not only from random hardware faults but also from ...

Timed Fault Tree Models of the China Yongwen Railway Accident [PDF]
Safety is an essential requirement for railway transportation. There are many methods that have been developed to predict, prevent and mitigate accidents in this context. All of these methods have their own purpose and limitations.

Causality and Temporal Dependencies in the Design of Fault Management Systems [PDF]
Reasoning about causes and effects naturally arises in the engineering of safety-critical systems. A classical example is Fault Tree Analysis, a deductive technique used for system safety assessment, whereby an undesired state is reduced to the set of ...

Reliability analysis of dynamic systems by translating temporal fault trees into Bayesian networks [PDF]
Classical combinatorial fault trees can be used to assess combinations of failures but are unable to capture sequences of faults, which are important in complex dynamic systems.

Fuzzy fault diagnostic system based on fault tree analysis [PDF]
A method is presented for process fault diagnosis using information from fault tree analysis and uncertainty/imprecision of data. Fault tree analysis, which has been used as a method of system reliability/safety analysis, provides a procedure for ...
