Functional dependence occurs when the failure of one component causes other components within the same system to become inaccessible or unusable. It is one of the dynamic behaviors that have been recognized in the dynamic fault tree analysis, where a dynamic gate called FDEP was designed to model such behavior. Traditional approaches to handling functional dependence in the reliability analysis of...
Traditional approaches to handling functional dependence in systems with imperfect fault coverage are based on Markov models, which are inefficient due to the well-known state space explosion problem. Also, the Markov-based methods typically assume exponential time-to-failure distributions for the system components. In this paper we propose a new combinatorial approach to handling functional dependence...
