The risk assessment process performs an important role in maintenance decision making,
through structuring the process of identifying, prioritizing, and thereafter formulating effective …

Dynamic fault tree (DFT) is an extended technology of Fault tree analysis (FTA). It has been
widely used in many fields and plays an important role in improving the security …

Risk assessment performs a critical decision support role in maintenance decision making.
This is through assisting maintenance practitioners systematically identify, analyze, evaluate …

This paper presents a new state-space generation approach for dynamic fault trees (DFTs)
that exploits several successful reduction techniques from the field of model checking. The …

Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are powerful in modeling systems with sequence-and function
dependent failure behaviors. The key point lies in how to quantify complex DFTs analytically …

Approximate Markov chain method for dynamic fault tree analysis is suggested for both
reparable and non‐reparable systems. The approximation is based on truncation …

With the aim of a more effective representation of reliability assessment for real industry, in
the last years concepts like dynamic fault trees (DFT) have gained the interest of many …

Reliability assessment of industrial processes is traditionally performed with RAMS
techniques. Such techniques are static in nature because they are unable to consider the …

Because the scope of risk assessments at nuclear power plants (NPPs) is being extended
both spatially and temporally, conventional, or static fault trees might not be able to express …

Fault tree analysis is a widespread industry standard for assessing system reliability.
Standard (static) fault trees model the failure behaviour of systems in dependence of their …
