Fault Tree를 이용한 신뢰성 분석

Reliability Analysis Using Fault Tree

An efficient algorithm which can be employed in obtaining the minimal cut sets of a fault tree containing repeated events is introduced. A sample fault tree illustrates this algorithm. Efficiency of an algorithm is defined as the ratio of the number of minimal cut sets to the number of cut sets determined by the algorithm. An efficiency of the proposed algorithm is compared with those of two existing algorithms : Fussell and Vesely's algorithm and Bengiamin et al. 's algorithm. The proposed algorithm is shown to be more efficient than the existing two algorithms.
