Description

A current challenge in probabilistic safety analysis is the study of the dynamic behavior of systems. Several methods have been used, each one having its own drawbacks. The discrete Markovian approach (CCMT) especially suffers from modelling problems (e.g. introduction of control laws). A continuous Markovian approach (CCCMT) allows to get rid of such problems. The CCCMT is described in this paper and is applied to the well-known heated tank problem. Comparisons between CCCMT and CCMT are also given
