\section{FMEA}
Two meanings, a general one Fault Mode Effects Analysis, meaning general statics diagnosis of a design, looking
at faults that can occur and their effect.
\subsection{Manufacturing Cost Reduction FMEA}
Second a methodology for reducing cost in manufacturing by taking fauls, their frequency
and their cost, multiplying these together, and then coming up with a priority list
for fixing knmown faults.
"The basics of FMEA by Robin E. McDermott et all"
ISBN 0-527-76320-9.
\subsection{Deterministic FMEA}
EN298 no two individual component failures may give rise to a dangerous condition.
\section{FMEDA Failure effect Mode Diagnositic Analysis}
This is a probablistic based methodology.
\subsection{Safe Failure Fraction}
Introduce the idea of coverage.
A good example is RAM in a microprocessor/microcontroller, we cann ot give 100i\% coverage to it.
We can perform some tests that give us 60\% coverage etc
\subsection{Diagnostic interval}
Reducing FIT with detecting a fraction of the faults within an interval. Give formulas etc
\subsection{Redundancy - Models}
1oo1 2oo3 etc
\subsection{Field Data}
OK for EN61508, not OK for nuclear industry find refs.
\section {FTA}
Fault tree Analysis
Show how it works, top down,
FROM INTERBET HISTORY OF FTA
%%- RE_PHRASE %%
%%- RE_PHRASE %% Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a tool originally developed in
%% RE_PHRASE %% 1962 by Bell Labs for use in studying failure modes in the
%% RE_PHRASE %% launch control system of the Minuteman missile project. The tool now
%% RE_PHRASE %% finds wide use in numerous applications, from accident investigation to design
%% RE_PHRASE %% prototyping, and is also finding use for protection and control related
%% RE_PHRASE %% applications. This paper provides an elementary background to the application of
%% RE_PHRASE %% FTA for use in protection applications. The construction of the fault
%% RE_PHRASE %% tree as well as the use of reliability data is considered.
%% RE_PHRASE %% A simple example is presented. The intention is to provide a
%% RE_PHRASE %% brief introduction to the concept, to allow users to at least
%% RE_PHRASE %% understand how a fault tree is constructed and what can be done
%% RE_PHRASE %% with it.
