Rapidly Analyze the Fault Tree with Numerical Methods

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to take advantage of the computer in the numerical calculation, in view of the fault tree qualitative analysis, a new method of fault tree analysis, numerical methods, was proposed on the basis of absorbing merits of the prime number method and determinant method. The fault tree's minimum cut sets and path sets can be calculated effectively with this method. Consequently, a specific example about calculation of the minimum cut sets was demonstrated with Scilab in this paper.
