NEW METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF FAULT TREE
Hen H · Acta Automatica Sinica · 1983
It is well known that fault tree is one of the important models for reliability analysis of large and complex systems. To obtain disjoint S. O. P. expression of failure function is the key to quantitative analysis of system reliability. Three new algorithms named primary sharp method, recursive sharp method and direct sharp method are proposed in this paper. The last two methods are more suitable for approximate calculation of large and complex systems.
