Fault Tree and Event Tree Analysis
This course aims to provide an understanding of the principles of fault and event tree analysis. It covers the development of fault tree and event tree models and populating them with suitable reliability data, human errors and dependent failures. It then considers quantification of the models and how they can be used to evaluate potential improvements.
Outline Content
- Introduction to Fault Tree Analysis
- Fault Tree construction
- Minimal cut sets
- Basic event reliability data
- Dependent failures and human errors
- Fault Tree quantification
