The hardware reliability of a gas monitoring system was investigated using the fuzzy fault tree analysis method. A fault tree was developed considering the hardware failure of the gas monitoring system as a top event. Two minimum path sets were achieved through qualitative analysis using the ascending method. The concept of fuzzy number of the fuzzy set theory was applied to describe the probability of basic event occurrence in the fault tree, and the fuzzy failure probabilities of the middle and top events were calculated using fuzzy AND and OR operators. The results show that the proposed fuzzy fault tree is an effective method of reliability analysis for gas monitoring systems. Results of calculations using this method are more reasonable than those obtained with the conventional fault tree method.

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are increasingly get popularity in many applications. Their operation requires high level of safety and reliability to accomplish successful missions. In this study, the reliability was comparatively analyzed by different available approaches to select the efficient method. First, failure model of the system is developed. Then, three different scenarios are considered to study the effect of redundancies on the system reliability results. In the first scenario, there is no redundancy where in the second scenario there is only one redundant component and in the third scenario, there are three redundant components. Static reliability analysis such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Reliability Block Diagram (RBD), Markov Chain (MC), and Bayesian Networks (BN) are applied on proposed scenarios and results are obtained. Regarding to time dependencies between redundant components, a dynamic-based methodology is also developed in this study through applying Dynamic Fault Tree (DFT) analysis. Proposed static and dynamic approaches are applied on an UAV as a case study and results are discussed. Finally, characteristics of each methodology and related conditions are clarified for selecting the efficient reliability analysis approach.

A fault tree model of the electric hydraulic power steering controller has been built and the minimum cut sets leading to the fault of system has been found out. Then, the method of count reliability prediction is used to get the failure rate of each basic event and the type of failure distribution. We use MATLAB to get the top event probability and the possibility importance and relative importance of each basic event. Lastly, MATLAB, based on Monte Carlo simulation, is used to make the simulation of fault tree model accurate and to calculate reliability index. The accuracy of this method is verified perfectly by calculating. Especially for complex system, this method of reliability analysis is of great significance.

The reliability of the emergency flotation system of helicopters is analysed by using fault tree analysis and the Monte Carlo method. We constructed a fault tree with the failure of system as the top event and obtained the minimal cut set, the ranking of the structural importance of the bottom events and the probability of the occurrence of the top event. Based on the system fault tree, a Monte Carlo simulation model of the emergency flotation system is established by using Matlab/Simulink. The results show that the Monte Carlo method is feasible and effective for the reliability analysis of the emergency flotation systems of helicopters. Furthermore, the comparison between the criticality importance and mode importance of each subsystem suggests that the control component is the weakest part of the emergency flotation systems, thereby providing a basis for system reliability design and fault diagnosis.
