One common approach is called a reliability block diagram (RBD), in which a block diagram is developed of the equipment or system to be modeled. The failure and repair rates for each major component ...

The research adopts a methodological approach emphasizing the analysis of failures and successes through Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) to dissect and understand the ...

The system topology information (e.g. reliability block diagram) is then used to calculate the coefficients of the weighted sum associated with each component, leading to a very simple and useful ...
