Fault trees provide a graphical and logical framework for analyzing the reliability of systems. A fault tree provides a conceptually simple modeling framework to represent the system-level interactions between component reliabilities. Dynamic fault trees have been shown particularly useful for reliability analysis of embedded computer systems. Dynamic fault trees are a superset of traditional (...

many earthquakes occur in iran every year and some of these earthquakes cause loss of life and property. consequently earthquake is one of challenging topics not only in iran but also in other active tectonic regions in the world. investigating the mechanism of earthquake as a natural disaster is the first and important step. to study earthquakes, different information such as geometry and beha...

HVAC operations play a significant role among various driving factors to improve energy performance of buildings. Extensive researches have been conducted on the design efficiencies and control strategies of HVAC system, but very few focused on the impacts of its operational faults on the building energy efficiency. Modeling and simulation of operational faults can lead to better understandings...

This paper describes the modeling of distance relay using Matlab/Simulink package. SimPowerSystem toolbox was used for detailed modeling of distance relay, transmission line and fault simulation. Inside the modeling, single line to ground (SLG) fault was choose to be the fault type and Mho type distance characteristic was choose to be as the protection scheme. A graphical user interface (GUI) w...

Fault trees show which joint components' faults mean system faults. Fault trees can often be used to determine dependability parameters of systems. Here it is shown that i) binary decision diagrams (BDDs) can also be used to calculate system mean failure frequency, ii) modeling dynamics of fault trees does not always mean Markov modeling, iii) a deeper understanding of interrelations between s-...

The automatic modeling of fault tree for nuclear power safety I&C configuration is designed to meet the requirements of reducing the workload and improving the traceability during the nuclear power safety I&C system reliability assessment work. To complete the fault tree automatic modeling, the Visio Automation software technology is used to analyze the topology of the nuclear power safety I&C ...

Abstract— An important aspect of network management is fault management, i.e., determining, locating, isolating, and correcting faults in the network. We study modeling of communication network protocols, and their fault detection, fault identification and fault location in the discrete event systems diagnosis framework. Our approach provides a systematic way of performing fault diagnosis in ne...

Static nMOS and static CMOS circuits -show SOme serious problems for fBult modeling and testing. In this paper we point out, that most of these problems are avoided by using dynamic nHOS Qr dynamic CMOS ci rcuits. Stuck-open faults in this ca8e do not result in sequential behaviour. A iogical fault model i8 presented, wh e r e a fault of a l ogic gate will cause either a faulty co.binational fu...
