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 AND, ...

Abstract: This paper gives an in-depth survey about some free and open source tools for Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), which is one of the most used techniques in safety and reliability engineering. We ...

Abstract: Functional testing is essential for ensuring the quality of electronic products. As system complexity increases, the cost of functional testing—particularly during the motherboard testing ...

The effort to determine what brought down the space shuttle Columbia in a shower of debris will span NASA facilities across the nation as engineers and technicians pose thousands of questions, big and ...

Fault tree analysis (FTA) evolved from the aerospace industry in the 1960's. A fault tree is deductive logic model that is generated with a top undesired event in mind. FTA answers the question, "how ...
