RELIABILITY ANALYSIS METHODS ON THE SAFETY RELATED SYSTEMS

This paper has given a detailed discussion of the recent trend for analyzing the reliability of safety related systems. The trend with the latest developments in the field of reliability is seems to have turned from a qualitative analysis to a quantitative analysis. For this purpose the authors of this paper have put forward some methods both of qualitative and quantitative nature in hoping to emphasize one of the most useful and comprehensive quantitative techniques-Markov analysis. To overcome one of the disadvantages of this method-the explosion scale of Markov model, the paper has made its own corresponding improvements, known as micro Markov analysis. And, finally, it has made a detailed analysis on the prosperity of the application of the method on reliability analysis.
