Basic Fault Tree Analysis Technique
The fault tree analysis (FTA) technique is proven to be an effective tool for analyzing and identifying areas for hazard mitigation and prevention, while in the planning phase or anytime, a systematic approach to risk assessment is needed. FTA is used as an integral part of a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). In this chapter, we cover the very basics of FTA. The NASA Fault Tree Handbook with Aerospace Applications (1) is a complete guide to FTA.
