What is it about?

A combined method, including fault tree analysis (FTA) and binary decision diagram (BDD), was proposed to model and analyze the mission success probability of phased-mission systems which are influenced by probabilistic common cause failures. moreover, a XML-based codes were supplied to aid the analysis.

Why is it important?

Common cause failures can damage the hypothesis of failure independence and can influence the reliability of a system significantly. We proposed a combined method to evaluate the effect of probabilistic common cause failures in the phased-mission systems, and the XML-based codes can improve the efficient of the analysis.

Perspectives

Writing this article was a pleasant process with the support of the co-authors, and I hope this article can improve further the understanding of common cause failures in reliability engineering and system safety fields.
