Abstract

To describe the system fault evolution process, the space fault network theory is proposed. Space fault network theory is the third stage of space fault tree theory. The paper introduces the basic research results of space fault network. The basic ideas, basic definitions and corresponding physical meanings of space fault network are discussed. The properties, structure and space fault tree transformation method of space fault network are further studied. The characteristics of the system fault evolution process and its four elements are discussed. The representation methods of space fault network for system fault evolution process are presented. The transformation methods of the general space fault network and multidirectional ring space fault network into space fault tree are given and studied. In particular, the classification and characteristics of unidirectional ring space fault network are studied in detail. Based on the system fault evolution process of the example, we conducted a qualitative analysis, and a space fault network is established and transformed. At the same time, a quantitative analysis is carried out according to the derivation process of the transformation of multidirectional ring space fault network. The results show that the space fault network can effectively describe and analyze the system fault evolution process. This paper has solved some basic problems of system fault evolution process, but more complicated situations need further research.
