Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) forms the cornerstone of systematic investigations into potential failures within complex engineering systems. By utilising logical diagrams comprised of gates such as ...

The packing process that is the subject of this study is one example. In such a process, a fault-tree analysis (FTA) approach can greatly help determine critical process points. The approach also ...

Instead, the fault sequence is differentiated to enable ISO 26262-compliance. Within this paper, an innovative approach including its mathematical background is presented how cyclic SMs can be ...

These data are interpreted in terms of a "fault tree analysis, " an operations research technique that identifies potential points of failure in technical systems in order to study patterns of use, ...
