SALP (Sensitivity Analysis by List Processing), a computer assisted technique for binary systems reliability analysis

  • 1. Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy

Description

A computerized technique which allows the modelling by AND, OR, NOT binary trees, of various complex situations encountered in safety and reliability assessment, is described. By the use of list-processing, numerical and non-numerical types of information are used together. By proper marking of gates and primary events, stand-by systems, common cause failure and multiphase systems can be analyzed. The basic algorithms used in this technique are shown in detail. Application to a stand-by and multiphase system is then illustrated
