Automatic fault tree construction via component and feature based modelling
conference contribution
posted on 2015-11-05, 12:07 authored by Ashish BhagavatulaAshish Bhagavatula, Sarah DunnettSarah Dunnett, Paul Bell, J. TaoThis paper introduces some techniques to be used for system representation in order to aid automatic
fault tree synthesis. Extensive input-output tables are introduced which model behavior of components
in their normal state and in different failed states. These tables are stored in a component library for ease
of access. A library, called the mark library, is also introduced to deal with complex features encountered in
aeronautical and automotive systems such as control loops or component redundancies. The top event specification
is required by the user which can be inputted in different formats depending on the failure mode of interest.
In order to demonstrate this methodology, it is applied to an automotive emission control system, and a
fault tree is generated following the methodology detailed in this paper.
