Process Failure Analysis by Block Diagrams and Fault Trees

Abstract: A reliability or hazards analysis can be developed from either a block diagram or fault tree representation of the process. This paper emphasizes the equivalence of these two representations and develops a procedure for automatically transforming a block diagram into a fault tree. The technique is based on a computer-oriented algorithm developed to detect all the minimal paths leading to the success of a system represented by a block diagram. The fault tree thus developed is a true, sequential representation o… Show more

“…The analytical model-based approach [2][3][4] has great limitations in application due to the need to establish accurate mathematical models. Knowledge-based methods are mainly divided into two types: causal graph method [5][6][7] and fault tree method [8]. Zhang K et al [5] proposed a kernel-based conditional independence test for conditional independence testing in Bayesian network learning and causal discovery.…”

“…Experimental results show that it is superior to other methods. Caceres et al [8] proposed to establish the fault tree according to the structural block diagram of the system. However, the defect of knowledge-based approach is that it relies too much on production experience and process knowledge.…”

“…On the other hand, system structure can also be seen as a kind of generalized knowledge which can be used flexibly by researchers. For example, in Reference [ 90 ], a qualitative IFD method based on fault tree is established according to system structure diagrams. Here, fault tree is a typical qualitative diagnostic KB [ 58 ].…”
