Fault tree analysis is one of the most widely used methods of system reliability analysis. It is a formal deductive procedure to determine the various combinations of component level failures that could result in the occurrence of specified "undesired events" at the system level.
This course covers fault tree construction, including symbols used in the construction. The logical top-down method of construction is explained and limitations of the approach are presented. The course concludes with an example fault tree construction using a real-world scenario of a hot water tank rupture.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply a variety of fault-tree gates to show how component-level failures propagate to a top event, or system-level failure.
- Identify different types of component-level failures.
- Model external events and common-cause failures in fault trees.
- Explain the limitations of fault tree analysis.
- Construct a fault tree for a real-world failure scenario.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
