Thesis Structure Meeting -- Failure Mode Modular De-Composition
|
|
|
|
The meeting decided that the thesis should comprise of
|
|
seven chapeters with the following subject areas.
|
|
|
|
1. Introduction - overview of the subject area
|
|
|
|
2. FMEA - general description, variants and context
|
|
|
|
3. Weaknesess of FMEA
|
|
|
|
4. FMMD - proposed solution, modularisation of FMEA
|
|
|
|
* Hierarchical modelling - functional groups --> derived components etc
|
|
* Symptom extraction process
|
|
* Unitary State failure modes -- only one failure mode may be active at
|
|
a given time in a component -- definition.
|
|
|
|
5. Examples for various levels of problems,
|
|
|
|
* using examples set by C Garrett,
|
|
* the PT100 temperature sensing circuit (double failures analysed)
|
|
* A larger complete electronics example (possible an anbalog PID controller)
|
|
|
|
6. Evaluation of FMMD
|
|
|
|
* Unitary State failure modes.
|
|
* Complexity Comparison
|
|
* Problems in modelling for FMMD.
|
|
|
|
7. Conclusion and further work.
|
|
|
|
* Software modelled in terms of failure modes - follow contract programming paradigm
|
|
* Hardware modelled in terms of failure modes (perhaps look at a servo motor, linkage, gearbox motor etc).

A goal has been set to submit these chapters, writing the introduction last,
|
|
by October 2012.
