An Application of Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis to Uncontained Events of an Areo-Engine Rotor

摘要

Fault tree analysis is an important tool for system reliability analysis. Fuzzy fault tree analysis of uncontained events for aero-engine rotor is performed in this article. In addition, a new methodology based on fuzzy set theory is also used in fault tree analysis to quantify the failure probabilities of basic events. The theory of fuzzy fault tree is introduced firstly. Then the fault tree for uncontained events of an aero-engine rotor is established, in which the descending method is used to determine the minimal cut sets. Furthermore, the interval representation and calculation strategy is presented by using the symmetrical L-R type fuzzy number to describe the failure probability, and the resulting fault tree is analyzed quantitatively in the case study.
