Functional safety analysis (FSA), that is checking whether a designed artifact will perform safely even under the presence of failing components, has gained significant importance in different areas, including aeronautic and automotive systems. The same applies to failure-modes-andeffects analysis (FMEA) and fault-tree analysis (FTA) as the major contributing processes. FSA is laborand timecons...

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are being increasingly used for intelligent transportation and distribution of materials in warehouses and auto-production lines. In this paper, a preliminary hazard analysis of an AGV’s critical components is conducted by the approach of Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). To implement this research, a particular AGV transport system is mode...

Haze weather has become a serious environmental pollution problem which occurs in many Chinese cities. One of the most critical factors for the formation of haze weather is the exhausts of coal combustion, thus it is meaningful to figure out the causation mechanism between urban haze and the exhausts of coal combustion. Based on above considerations, the fault tree analysis (FAT) approach was e...

The general objective of this work is to evaluate the application impact of the RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) methodology on a power generating system. The RCM warrants significant improvements in the maintenance-functions performance, and also an increase in reliability and availability of equipments. It permits the definition of a maintenance planning in a structured form. It was dev...

The delay in completion of construction that has exceeded the work time target according to initial agreement is very powerful on project itself. Delays occur due problems arise terms materials, labor, costs, equipment, environment, and others. In this research, an analysis was carried out what factors were cause superstructure rating value reliability function each work. Fault Tree Analysis (F...

The Pulverize is a major part of the boiler combustion system and an important part in the system of steam power plant (PLTU). Pulverizer plant serves to break chunks of coal into the coal ash was then fed to the burner. Type of feed coal into a pulverize is cleaned with a value product pulverize optimum 30%. The percentage of this value greatly affects the production of steam in the boiler. Th...

Background and Objective Adventitious presence (AP) or unintentional commingling of genetically modified (GM) grain in non-GM lots is a concern for stakeholders who wish to produce grain-based products. AP that exceeds tolerance levels results the loss product marketability as “non-GM” subsequent premium market price. The objective this study was evaluate US commodity corn supply chain using Fa...

Since their introduction in form of a canonical representation logical functions, the Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) gained wide acceptance numerous industrial applications. This paper summarizes properties BDD Minimal Cut Sets (MCS) Fault Tree (FT) models most typically encountered nuclear energetics. sets from MCS are defined as paths top node to terminal nodes BDD, on which quantitative and...

Based on available sources, the frequency of explosions in marine engine’s starting air manifolds is determined under real conditions. A cause-and-effect analysis these and their root causes are identified. probabilistic model an explosion manifold a engine built using fault tree (FTA). Using stochastic simulation (Monte Carlo) exact reliability availability calculation (ERAC) algorithm applied...
