In case of fault tree analysis of large complex system, the probability of bottom event in dynamic fault tree is uncertain in some cases. To address the problem, the paper presented a dynamic fault tree analysis method based on fuzzy set computation. The method separates logic attributes and timing attributes of dynamic logic gates. It can convert dynamic fault tree into static fault tree not considering timing constraints and obtain minimum cut set of static fuzzy fault tree with set operations, then the concept of minimum cut set is extended to dynamical minimum cut sequence. Thus, the dynamic fault tree was analyzed in both qualitative and quantitative aspects, which solve the problem that it is difficult to assign value of event probability in previously process.

To prevent underground blasting accidents, fault tree analysis (FTA), a method for identifying and evaluating hazard in safety theory, is used to throughly analyze underground blasting technology. With calculating the minimum cut set and path set, causes of blasting accidents are determined. And corresponding preventions are formulated.

Fault tree analysis is a well-structured, precise, and powerful tool for system evaluation. However, the conventional approach has been found to be inadequate to deal with the absence of fault data, failure dependency, and uncertainty problems. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the evaluation of data communication system (DCS) using dynamic fault tree approach based on fuzzy set. It makes use of the advantages of the dynamic fault tree for modelling, fuzzy set theory for handling uncertainty, and Bayesian network (BN) for inference ability. Specifically, it adopts expert elicitation and fuzzy set theory to evaluate the failure rates of the basic events for DCS and uses a dynamic fault tree model to capture the dynamic failure mechanisms. Furthermore, some reliability parameters can be calculated by mapping a dynamic fault tree into an equivalent BN. The results show that the proposed method is more flexible and adaptive than conventional fault tree analysis for fault diagnosis and reliability estimation of DCS.
