This paper describes the application of fault tree technique to analyze of compressor failure. Fault tree analysis technique involves the decomposition of a system into the specific form of fault tree where certain basic events lead to a specified top event which signifies the total failure of the system. In this research. fault trees for failure analysis of screw type air compressor are made. This fault trees are used to obtain minimal cut sets from system failure and system failure rate for the top event occurrence can be calculated. It is Possible to estimate air compressor reliability by using constructed fault trees through compressor failure example. It is Proved that FTA is efficient to investigate the compressor failure modes and diagnose system.

Fault tree analysis(FTA) is available to the engineer for determining reliability of complex industrial safety system. Therefore quantitative aspects of FTA greatly multiply its power this paper proceeds of presenting the methodology of FTA, including an approach to constructing in fault tree. A working guide to the use of FTA for the purpose of cost/benefit determination in industrial safety system is given. Finally, an analytic method for uncertainty analysis of the top event of a complex system is described.

Nowadays in offshore industry there are emerging hazards with vague property such as act of terrorism, act of war, unforeseen natural disasters such as tsunami, etc. Therefore industry professionals such as offshore energy insurers, safety engineers and risk managers in order to determine the failure rates and frequencies for the potential hazards where there is no data available, they need to use an appropriate method to overcome this difficulty. Furthermore in conventional risk based analysis models such as when using a fault tree analysis, hazards with vague properties are normally waived and ignored. In other word in previous situations only a traditional probability based fault tree analysis could be implemented. To overcome this shortcoming fuzzy set theory is applied to fault tree analysis to combine the known and unknown data in which the pre-combined result will be determined under a fuzzy environment. This has been fulfilled by integration of a generic bow-tie based risk analysis model into the risk assessment phase of the Risk Management (RM) cycles as a backbone of the phase. For this reason Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Event Tree Analysis (ETA) are used to analyse one of the significant risk factors associated in offshore terminals. This process will eventually help the insurers and risk managers in marine and offshore industries to investigate the potential hazards more in detail if there is vagueness. For this purpose a case study of offshore terminal while coinciding with the nature of the Caspian Sea was decided to be examined.

Conventional fault tree analysis has several problems as the estimations and tolerances of the failure probability values. To overcome these problems, fuzzy concepts with natural language can be applied to conventional fault tree analysis. And, we propose the evaluation method of the imprecision of top/basic events and possibility importances of basic events.

This paper presents an alarm system for the integrated monitoring and control station of waterworks in Daegu City. An alarm system informs the operator or other responsible individuals about the abnormality in the process so that an appropriate action can be taken. In practice, operators receive far more false and nuisance alarms than valid and useful alarms. Too many false and nuisance alarms can distract the operator from operating the plant, and thus critical alarms may be ignored. This problem can lead to the point that the operator no longer trusts the alarms or even shuts down the whole monitoring system. This paper proposes an efficient method to reduce false and nuisance alarms by prioritizing every fault using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) technique. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated with a set of computer simulation under various faulty conditions.

Reliability evaluation is important task in embedded system. It can avoid potential failures and manage the vulnerable components of embedded system effectively. Dynamic fault tree analysis is one of the reliability evaluation methods. It can represent dynamic characteristics of a system such as fault & error recovery, sequence-dependent failures. In this paper, the steering system, which is embedded system in vehicles, is represented using dynamic fault tree. We evaluate the steering system using approximation algorithm based on Simpson's rule. A set of simulation results shows that proposed method overcomes the low accuracy of classic approximation method without requiring no excessive calculation time of the Markov chain method.

폴트 트리 분석(Fault Tree Analysis)은 산업계에서 가장 널리 사용되는 안전성 분석 기법 중의 하나이다. 하지만, 이 기법은 보통 수작업으로 이루어지며, 분석 결과를 체계적이고 자동적으로 검증할 수 있는 방법이 없다는 약점을 지닌다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 모델 체커인 UPPAAL을 이용하여 안전성이 중요한 소프트웨어의 요구 사항들을 정형 명세하고, 수작업으로 찬성된 폴트 트리의 정확성을 검증하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 제안된 방법을 유용성을 확인하기 위해서 월성 원자력 발전소의 비상 정지 소프트웨어(Wolsung SDS2)에서 사용된 기능 요구 사항들을 예제로서 사용하였다. 폴트 트리는 월성 SDS2에 대한 전문적인 지식을 지니고 폴트 트리를 이용한 안전성 분석을 여러 번 수행해 본 경험이 있는 대학원생들에 의해 작성되었다. 기능 요구 사항들은 UPPAAL의 입력으로서 사용되기 위해서 시제 오토마타의 형태로 수작업으로 변환되었으며, 이 폴트 트리의 정확성을 검증하기 위해서 모델 체킹을 사용하였다 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 월성 SDS2 예제에 적용해 본 결과, 수작업으로 작성된 폴트 트리에 존재하는 오류를 찾을 수 있었으며, 이러한 작업을 통하여 제안된 방법이 폴트 트리 분석에 대한 신뢰도를 높이는데 유용함을 발견하였다.

This paper mentions a fault tree analysis using not probability but natural language and fuzzy theory, Reliability estimate of each basic event and dependence level estimate among subsystems are expressed by linguistic terms. Analysis results are also expressed by natural language. The meaning of linguistic terms is expressed by a fuzzy set. In the presented analysis approach parametrized operations of fuzzy sets are considered so that analyst's subjectivity can be introduced into the analysis. This paper gives the Chernobyl accident as an example of the fuzzy fault tree analysis using linguistic terms.

The purpose of this study is to attempt a Analysis of a pointed-end Equipment Arm Safety-Accident for Fault Tree Analysis. Three major techniques were used first problem is Z-Model by which accident Analysis & prevention of a pointed-end Industry can be made, Fault Tree Analysis(FTA) bywhich quantification of a pointed-end Equipment accident Analysis can be made it 5 years in past and the third, manual-written by which minimal cut set to accident can be Identified. A example has been made of issue point a pointed-end Equipment that the Arm in loader happen to Injuries. According to the Analysis lack of safety knowledge, unsafety-behavior seem to be the primal cause of accident. Comparision of the accident cause to actual report demonstratesthat the FTA a efficient tool for Industrial Accident prevention.

In this paper, Dynamic Fault Tree algorithm(DFT algorithm) is presented. This new algorithm provides a concise representation of dynamic fault tolerance system structure with redundancy, dynamic redundancy management and complex fault ＆ error recovery techniques. And it allows the modeler to define a dynamic fault tree model with the relative advantages of both fault tree and Markov models that captures the system structure and dynamic behavior. This algorithm applies to TMR and Dual-Duplex systems with the dynamic behavior and show that this algorithm captured the dynamic behavior in these systems with fault ＆ error recovery technique, sequence-dependent failures and the use dynamic spare. The DFT algorithm for solving the problems of the systems is more effective than the Markov and Fault tree analysis model.
