Abstract:
In order to analyze the effect of common cause failure(CCF) on average probability of failure on demand(
Pavg) calculation, fault tree models of a normal excitation 1oo2 system are established. The
Pavg without regard to CCF and
Pavg with regard to CCF(use β factor model) are both calculated. By comparing the calculation results, find that CCF has a great impact on
Pavg calculation. Correlation analysis shows that when the system is safer(dangerous failure rate is lower, the detect rate of dangerous failure is higher), the impact is greater.
