System Reliability

Fault Tree Analysis, The Propagation of Statistical Moments, Resource Allocation, Augmented Lagrangian

  • The prior information at the basic event levels can vary notably in fault trees.
  • An approach for uncertainty propagation via statistical moments is developed.
  • The approach depends on the distribution types when dependencies exist.
  • Sensitivity analysis is leveraged for optimizing resource allocations.
  • Constrained optimization problems are formulated to improve system safety.
  • The optimization problem is solved using augmented Lagrangian approach.
