The Common Mode Failure Analysis Based on Markov Model

Common Mode Failure (CMF) analysis is an important method for evaluating the reliability, safety and risk of complex systems. As the increasing in the system complexity, the common-mode question has become an important factor for conditioning the reliability and security of the control system. Based the discussion on the concepts of CMF, this paper provided a CMF analysis method using Markov model, including the modeling and analysis process. A case study was also presented to verify the feasibility of the analysis method.
