Abstract: Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is used extensively to evaluate the logical dependency of a system on its constituent components. Fault trees (FTs) can be used to identify and correct weaknesses ...

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) forms the cornerstone of systematic investigations into potential failures within complex engineering systems. By utilising logical diagrams comprised of gates such as AND, ...

Abstract: This paper gives an in-depth survey about some free and open source tools for Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), which is one of the most used techniques in safety and reliability engineering. We ...

As datasets and simulations continue to increase in size and complexity, interactivity with the data should be maintained. It is important to understand how SIMD parallelism can be used when ...

The effort to determine what brought down the space shuttle Columbia in a shower of debris will span NASA facilities across the nation as engineers and technicians pose thousands of questions, big and ...

This article focuses on upgrading and improving a packing process to comply with current good manufacturing practices. The authors sought to maintain proper quality assurance for finished products.
