Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a very prominent method to analyze the risks related to safety
and economically critical assets, like power plants, airplanes, data centers and web shops …

In this chapter, a state-of-the-art review of fault tree analysis is presented. Different forms of
fault trees, including static, dynamic, and non-coherent fault trees, their applications and …

This paper presents a new algorithm (PMS-BDD) based on the binary decision diagram
(BDD) for reliability analysis of phased-mission systems (PMS). PMS-BDD uses phase …

A module of a fault tree is a subtree whose terminal events do not occur elsewhere in the
tree. Modules, which are independent subtrees, can be used to reduce the computational …

New wind turbines are becoming more complex and reliability analysis of them rising in
complexity. The systems are composed of many components. Fault tree is used as an useful …

The traditional static fault trees with AND, OR and voting gates cannot capture the dynamic
behavior of system failure mechanisms such as sequence-dependent events, spares and …

Fault trees provide a conceptually simple modeling framework to represent system-level
reliability in terms of interactions between component reliabilities. DIFtree (Dynamic …

Fault Tree Analysis is now a widely accepted technique to assess the probability and
frequency of system failure in many industries. For complex systems an analysis may …

A new algorithm based on binary decision diagram (BDD) for the analysis of a system with
multistate components is proposed. Each state of a multistate component is represented by …

One of the principal activities of risk assessment is either the ranking or the categorization of
structures, systems and components with respect to their risk-significance or their safety …
