Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)

MATLAB Simulink Based Fault Tree Analyser

Assumptions

To have an accurate results the following assumptions should be considered:

• The system components' failure rates obeys exponential distribution function.
• The occurrence of more than one fault at the sametime is not allowed and the common cause failures (CCFs) are ignored.
• Real-time repairing of vehicle's components is not allowed.
• Dynamic characteristics such as functionaldependency, components' priority and the use ofspares are not applied in the model.
• Repeated events may reduce the accuracy.
