% \label{sec:indexsub}
|
||||
% We can indicate the abstraction level of a component by using a superscript.
|
||||
% Thus for the component $c$, where it is a `base component' we can assign it
|
||||
% the abstraction level zero, $c^0$. Should we wish to index the components
|
||||
% (for example as in a product parts-list) we can use a sub-script.
|
||||
% Our base component (if first in the parts-list) could now be uniquely identified as
|
||||
% $c^0_1$.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% We can further define the abstraction level of a {\fg}.
|
||||
% We can say that it is the maximum abstraction level of any of its
|
||||
% components. Thus a functional group containing only base components
|
||||
% would have an abstraction level zero and could be represented with a superscript of zero thus
|
||||
% `${\FG}^0$'. % The functional group set may also be indexed.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% We can apply symptom abstraction to a {\fg} to find
|
||||
% its symptoms.
|
||||
% %We are interested in the failure modes
|
||||
% %of all the components in the {\fg}. An analysis process
|
||||
% We define the symptom abstraction process with the symbol `$\derivec$'.
|
||||
% % is applied to the {\fg}.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% The $\derivec$ function takes a {\fg}
|
||||
% as an argument and returns a newly created {\dc}.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% %The $\derivec$ analysis, a symptom extraction process, is described in chapter \ref{chap:sympex}.
|
||||
% The symptom abstraction process must always raise the abstraction level
|
||||
% for the newly created {\dc}.
|
||||
% Using $\abslev$ (as described in~\ref{sec:alpha}) to symbolise the fault abstraction level, we can now state:
|
||||
%
|
||||
% \begin{equation}
|
||||
% \label{eqn:abslevinc}
|
||||
% \derivec({\FG}^{\abslev}) \rightarrow c^{{\abslev}+N} | N \ge 1.
|
||||
% \end{equation}
|
||||
%
|
||||
% \paragraph{Functional Groups may be indexed.}
|
||||
% We will typically have more than one {\fg} on each level of FMMD hierarchy (except the top level, where there will only be one).
|
||||
% We index the {\fgs} with a sub-script, and can then uniquely identify them using their level and their index.
|
||||
% For example ${\FG}^{3}_{2}$ would be the second {\fg} at the third level of abstraction in an FMMD hierarchy.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% \paragraph{The symptom abstraction process in outline.}
|
||||
% The $\derivec$ function processes a functional group and returns a derived component.
|
||||
% Firstly, all the failure modes from all the components in the {\fg}
|
||||
% are used to create failure scenarios, which can be single failure modes
|
||||
% or combinations of failure modes where unitary state failure mode constraints do not apply.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% With all the failure scenarios, an analyst can
|
||||
% determine how each scenario will affect the {\fg}.
|
||||
% This will give one failure mode behaviour result for each failure scenario.
|
||||
% With these results, we collect common symptoms.
|
||||
% That is to say, that many of the resultant failure modes, will exhibit the same symptom of failure from the perspective
|
||||
% of a user of the {\fg}.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% We now can treat the functional group as a sort of `super~component'.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% In order to make this new `super~component' usable, it needs to be in the form of a
|
||||
% component, that is, it has a name, and a set of failure modes.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% We can do this by creating a new {\dc} and assigning a name to it, and assigning its set of
|
||||
% failure modes being the failure symptoms of the {\fg} from which it was derived.
|
||||
% %A new {\dc} is created
|
||||
% %where its failure modes, are the symptoms from {\fg}.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% Note that the {\dc} must have a higher abstraction level than the {\fg}
|
||||
% from which it was derived---or---in other words, the symptom abstraction process `$\derivec$' increments
|
||||
% the abstraction level $\abslev$, as stated in equation~\ref{eqn:abslevinc}.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% The symptom abstraction process is described formally and algorithmically
|
||||
% in sections~\ref{sec:formalfmmd} and \ref{sec:algorithmfmmd} respectively.
|
||||
%
|
||||
%
|
||||
% \paragraph{Surjective constraint applied to symptom collection.}
|
||||
% We can stipulate that symptom collection process is surjective~\cite{dmfnt}.
|
||||
% % i.e. $ \forall f in F $
|
||||
% By stipulating surjection for symptom collection, we ensure
|
||||
% that each component failure mode maps to at least one symptom.
|
||||
% This also ensures that all symptoms have at least one component failure
|
||||
% mode (i.e. one or more failure modes that caused it).
|
||||
% %
|
||||
%
|
||||
% \subsection{FMMD Hierarchy}
|
||||
%
|
||||
% By applying stages of analysis to higher and higher abstraction
|
||||
% levels, we can converge to a complete failure mode model of the system under analysis.
|
||||
% Because the symptom abstraction process is defined as surjective (from component failure modes to symptoms)
|
||||
% the number of symptoms is guaranteed to be less than or equal to
|
||||
% the number of component failure modes. This means the top level {\dc} in a hierarchy should have a number of {\fms} less than or equal
|
||||
% to the sum of {\fms} in its base components.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% In practise, however, the number of symptoms greatly reduces as we traverse
|
||||
% up the hierarchy.
|
||||
% This is echoed in real life systems, where the top level events/failures
|
||||
% are always orders of magnitude smaller than sum of {\fms} in its base components.
|
||||
% %This is a natural process. When we have complicated systems
|
||||
% %they always have a small number of system failure modes in comparison to
|
||||
% %the number of failure modes in its sub-systems/components..
|
||||
%
|
||||
%
|
||||
% \subsection{Derived Component like concepts in safety literature}
|
||||
%
|
||||
% Integrated components such as OP-AMPS are already treated as {\dcs}
|
||||
% in literature.
|
||||
% An Op-AMP is an integrated circuit comprising some hundred or so individual components
|
||||
% but in the literature ~\cite{fmd91}[3-116] is is described as a simple component with a set of failure modes.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% % Idea stage on this section, integrated circuits and some compond parts (like digital resistors)
|
||||
% % are treated like base components. i.e. this sets a precedent for {\dcs}.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% % RE WRITE ---- concept is that some complicated components, like 741 are treated as simple components
|
||||
% % in the literature.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% % \begin{itemize}
|
||||
% % \item Look at OPAMP circuits, pick one (say $\mu$741)
|
||||
% % % \item Digital transistor perhaps, inside two resistors and a transistor.
|
||||
% % % \item outline a proposed FMMD analysis
|
||||
% % % \item Show FMD-91 OPAMP failure modes -- compare with FMMD
|
||||
% % \end{itemize}
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% % % The gas burner standard (EN298~\cite{en298}), only considers OPEN and SHORT for resistors
|
||||
% % (and for some types of resistors OPEN only).
|
||||
% % FMD-91~\cite{fmd91}(the US military failure modes guide) also includes `parameter change' in its description of resistor failure modes.
|
||||
% % Now a resistor will generally only suffer parameter change when over stressed.
|
||||
% % EN298 stipulates down rating by 60\% to maximum stress
|
||||
% % possible in a circuit. So even if you have a resistor that preliminary tells you would
|
||||
% % never be subjected to say more than 5V, but there is say, a 24V rail
|
||||
% % on the circuit, you have to choose resistors able to cope with the 24V
|
||||
% % stress/load and then down rate by 60\%. That is to say the resitor should be rated for a maximum
|
||||
% % voltage of $ > 38.4V$ and should be rated 60\% higher for its power consumption at $38.4V$.
|
||||
% % Because of down-rating, it is reasonable to not have to consider parameter change under EN298 approvals.

|

% \section{Double Simultaneous Failures}
|
||||
%
|
||||
% The probability for independent double simultaneous component failures (because we would multiply the probabilities of failure) is very low.
|
||||
% However, some critical systems have to consider these type of eventualities.
|
||||
% The burner control industry has to consider double failures, as specified in European Norm
|
||||
% EN298~\cite{en298}. EN298 does not specifically state that
|
||||
% double simultaneous failures must be considered. What it does say is that
|
||||
% in the event of a lockout---a condition where an error has been detected and
|
||||
% the equipment moves to a safe non-functioning state---no secondary failure may cause a dangerous condition.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% This is slightly vague: there are so many possible component failures that could
|
||||
% cause a secondary failure, that it is very difficult not to interpret this
|
||||
% as meaning we have to cater for double simultaneous failures for the most critical sections
|
||||
% of a burner control system.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% In practise---in the field of EN298: burner controllers---this means triple safeguards to ensure the fuel
|
||||
% is not allowed to flow under an error condition. This would of course leave the possibility of
|
||||
% other more complex double failures tricking the controller into thinking the
|
||||
% combustion was actually safe when it was not.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% It would be impractical to
|
||||
% perform the number of checks (as the checking is a time-consuming human process) required of RFMEA on a system as complex as a burner controller.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% It has been shown that, for all but trivial small systems, double failure mode checking
|
||||
% is impossible from a practical perspective.
|
||||
% FMMD can reduce the number of checks to make to achieve double simultaneous failure checking -- but by the very nature
|
||||
% of choosing {\fgs} we will not (in the initial stages) be cross checking all possible
|
||||
% combinations of double failures in all of the components.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% The diagram in figure~\ref{fig:dubsim1}, uses Euler diagrams to model failure modes (as closed contours) and asterisks
|
||||
% to model failure mode scenarios. The failure scenario is defined by the contours that enclose it.
|
||||
% Consider a system which has four components $c_1 \ldots c_4$.
|
||||
% Consider that each of these components may fail in two ways: $a$ and $b$, i.e $fm(c_1) = fm(c_2) = \{a,b\}$.
|
||||
% Now consider two {\fgs}, $fg1 = \{ c_1, c_2 \}$ and $fg2 = \{ c_3, c_4 \}$.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% We list all the possible failure scenarios as $FS1 \ldots FS6$ for each functional group.
|
||||
% For instance $FS5$ is the result of component $c_2$ failing with failure mode $a$ and component $c_1$ failing
|
||||
% with failure mode $b$. We can express this as $c_2 a \cup c_1 b$.

%
|

%
|
||||
%
|
||||
% From figure~\ref{fig:dubsim1} we can see that the double failure modes within the {\fgs} have been examined.
|
||||
% How do we model the double failures that occur across the {\fgs}, for instance
|
||||
% $c_4 a \cup c_1 a$ where $c_4 a$ is a failure mode in FG1 and $c_1 a$ from FG2.
|
||||
% It could be argued that because functional groups are chosen for their functionality, and re-usability,
|
||||
% that component failures in one should not affect a different {\fg}, but this is a weak argument.
|
||||
% Merely double checking within {\fgs} would be marginally better than
|
||||
% only applying it to the most obvious critical elements of a system.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% What is really required is a way that all double simultaneous failures
|
||||
% are checked.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% One way of doing this is to apply double failure mode
|
||||
% checking to all {\fgs} higher up in the hierarchy.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% This guarantees to check the symptoms caused by the
|
||||
% failure modes in the other {\fgs} with the symptoms
|
||||
% derived from the other {\fgs} modelling for double failures.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% By traversing down the tree, we can automatically determine which
|
||||
% double simultaneous combinations have not been resolved.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% By applying double simultaneous checking until no single failures
|
||||
% can lead to a top level event, we
|
||||
% implement traceable and provable, complete double failure mode coverage.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% To extend the example in figure~\ref{fig:dubsim1} we can map the failure
|
||||
% scenarios.
|
||||
% For Functional Group 1 (FG1), let us map:
|
||||
% \begin{eqnarray*}
|
||||
% FS1 & \mapsto & S1 \\
|
||||
% FS2 & \mapsto & S3 \\
|
||||
% FS3 & \mapsto & S1 \\
|
||||
% FS4 & \mapsto & S2 \\
|
||||
% FS5 & \mapsto & S2 \\
|
||||
% FS6 & \mapsto & S3
|
||||
% \end{eqnarray*}
|
||||
%
|
||||
% Thus a derived component, DC1, has the failure modes defined by $fm(DC1) = \{ S1, S2, S3 \}$.
|
||||
%
|
||||
%
|
||||
% For Functional Group 2 (FG2), let us map:
|
||||
% \begin{eqnarray*}
|
||||
% FS1 & \mapsto & S4 \\
|
||||
% FS2 & \mapsto & S5 \\
|
||||
% FS3 & \mapsto & S5 \\
|
||||
% FS4 & \mapsto & S4 \\
|
||||
% FS5 & \mapsto & S6 \\
|
||||
% FS6 & \mapsto & S5
|
||||
% \end{eqnarray*}
|
||||
%
|
||||
% Thus a derived component, DC2, has the failure modes defined by $fm(DC2) = \{ S4, S5, S6 \}$
|
||||
% and these are the result of considering double simultaneous failures of its components.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% A commonly used temperature measuring circuit, the $Pt100$, is analysed
|
||||
% for double simultaneous failure analysis in section~\ref{sec:Pt100}.

|

% % The minimal cuts sets for the system level failures can have computed MTTF

%
|

% % \item{ It should be easy to use, ideally
|
||||
% % using a graphical syntax (as opposed to a formal mathematical one).}
|
||||
% % A modified form of constraint diagram (an extension of Euler diagrams) has
|
||||
% % been developed to support the FMMD methodology.
|
||||
% % This uses Euler circles to represent failure modes, and spiders to collect symptoms, to
|

% % advance a {\fg} to a {\dc}.

|

% % \item{ From the top down the failure mode model should follow a logical de-composition of the functionality
|
||||
% % to smaller and smaller functional modules \cite{maikowski}.}
|
||||
% % The bottom-up approach fulfils the logical de-composition requirement, because the {\fg}s
|
||||
% % are built from components performing a given task.

% \item{ Multiple failure modes (conjunction - where more that one failure mode is active)

|
||||
% %Multiple failure modes (conjunction) may be modelled from the base component level up.
|
||||
% By breaking the problem of failure mode analysis into small stages
|
||||
% and building a hierarchy, the problems associated with needing to
|
||||
% analyse all possible combinations of base level components
|
||||
% within a system are reduced.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% % by an exponential order.
|
||||
% This is because the multiple failure modes considered
|
||||
% within {\fgs} have fewer failure modes to consider
|
||||
% at each FMMD stage.
|
||||
% Where appropriate, multiple simultaneous failures can be modelled by
|
||||
% introducing {\fcs} %test~cases
|
||||
% where the conjunction of failure modes is considered.
|
||||
% An example demonstrating multiple failure mode analysis may be found in section~\ref{sec:Pt100}.

%
|

%
|
||||
% %This new approach is called
|
||||
% Failure Mode Modular De-Composition (FMMD) is designed
|
||||
% to be a more rigorous and `data~complete' model than
|
||||
% the current four approaches.
|
||||
% %
|
||||
% That is,
|
||||
% from an FMMD model, we should be able to
|
||||
% derive outline models that the other four methodologies would have been
|
||||
% able to create. As this approach is modular, many of the results of
|
||||
% analysed components may be re-used in other projects, so
|
||||
% test efficiency is improved.
|
||||
% %Clearly the more complex the original system is the more benefit,
|
||||
% %i.e. less components and derived components, will be produced from decomposing the
|
||||
% %system into functional groups.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% FMMD is based on generic failure modes, so it is not constrained to a
|
||||
% particular field. It can be applied to mechanical, electrical or software domains.
|
||||
% It can therefore be used to analyse systems comprised of electrical,
|
||||
% mechanical and software elements in one integrated model.
|
||||
% Furthermore the reasoning path is traceable. By being able to trace a
|
||||
% top level event down through derived components, to base component
|
||||
% failure modes, with each step annotated as {\fcs}, the model is easier to maintain.
|
||||
%
|
||||
% The example used here is deliberately small for the purpose
|
||||
% of being presenting the methodology showing more than only one stage of hierarchy,
|
||||
% worked examples for common electronic circuits, digital analogue hybrids and software electronic
|
||||
% hybrid systems are given in chapter~\ref{sec:chap5}.
|
||||
% %FMMD has been applied
|
||||
% %to larger systems encompassing mechanical, electrical and software
|
||||
% %elements.
|
||||
% FMMD represents a new technique in that it
|
||||
% can address all the criteria in table 3, whereas the other methodologies
|
||||
% can only cover some.
|
||||
%
|
||||
%
|
||||
% FMMD not only has advantages of efficiency (reduction of state explosion), it also
|
||||
% provides the capability to model entire electro-mechanical-software systems using a common notation
|
||||
% and processes.
