Extended Decision Tables for Multistate Fault Tree Synthesis
J.D. Wang, T. S. Liu · 1993
Abstract This study presents component modeling based on extended decision tables for multistate fault tree synthesis. Events are defined by both qualitative and quantitative forms. Compound functions of subsystems, such as redundancy, are described by virtual transfer components. Editing procedures are implemented to expedite the synthesizing process and prune the generated fault trees. A pressure tank system is employed as an example to demonstrate the proposed mothed.
