Description

The paper describes an approach for reliability analysis and optimization of complex systems. The approach is based on event-tree representation, cut sets analysis, bound approximation and sensitivity analysis. Reference is made to the methods and computer programs developed for various steps of the analysis. In particular, details are given for the sensitivity analysis and optimization. Examples of application to reactor scram systems and electrical supply systems are reported. (author)
