Fault Tree Analysis Example

 

What is fault tree analysis? It was initially developed in Bell laboratory for a control system.  Now days it is widely used in safety engineering field to qualitatively determine probability of a safety hazard. It is an undesired state of a system is analyzed using boolean logic to combine a series of lower-level events.


 

Following tutorial which was developed by Clifton A. Ericson is consist with simple explanation with several examples including very simple one.
