As a kind of important mechanical drive forms, the reliability level of gear transmission directly haves an effect on the performance of mechanical products. At present, the analysis method of main gear transmission failure is the fault tree analysis, which has several limits in describing multi-state events. Bayesian network which is very suitable to express multi-state events and uncertain logical relationships has been successfully applied to fault diagnosis field. Therefore, Bayesian network is researched in this paper in order to improve gear transmission fault tree, solve limits of the fault tree out and make the failure analysis results more objective and accurate.

The paper introduced the Bayesian networks briefly and discussed the algorithm of transforming fault tree into Bayesian networks at first, then regarded the structures impaired caused by tunnel blasting construction as a example, introduced the built and calculated method of the Bayesian networks by matlab. Then assumed the probabilities of essential events, calculated the probability of top event and the posterior probability of each essential events by the Bayesian networks. After that the paper contrast the characteristics of fault tree analysis and the Bayesian networks, Identified that the Bayesian networks is better than fault tree analysis in safety evaluation in some case, and provided a valid way to assess risk in metro construction.
