摘要
Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs) allow us to model the failure relationships of complex systems and their sub-components and are extensively used for system reliability, availability, dependability and maintainability analyses of many engineering systems. Traditionally, Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) are analyzed using paper-and-pencil proofs or computer simulations. Recently, formal techniques, including Petri Nets and higher-order-logic theorem proving, have been used for their analysis as well. In this paper, we provide a concise survey of these available RBD analysis techniques and compare them based on their accuracy, user friendliness and computational requirements.
