Fault tree analysis is a systems safety technique for determining the logical combinations of events which could cause a specific hazard to occur. Digraph models are proposed which describe sequential relationships between events. A computer program which automatically constructs fault trees from digraph models is illustrated for an air-drying process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
