The Common Mode Failure Analysis Based on Markov Model

Abstract:

Common Mode Failure (CMF) analysis is an important method for evaluating the reliability, safety and risk of complex systems. As the increasing in the system complexity, the common-mode question has become an important factor for conditioning the reliability and security of the control system. Based the discussion on the concepts of CMF, this paper provided a CMF analysis method using Markov model, including the modeling and analysis process. A case study was also presented to verify the feasibility of the analysis method.
