Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) involves the investigation and assessment of the effects of all possible failure modes on a system. This kind of analysis is of growing importance in the automotive and aerospace industries, where increasingly complex electrical, electronic and mechanical systems are being combined in safety-critical applications.Our previous research in this area showed that an automated FMEA system was feasible if model-based reasoning techniques were used to infer the effects of each failure mode. This project is producing an FMEA demonstrator that will be usable by electrical engineers. It should be capable of automating FMEA for all electrical circuits in a car, and will be installed at Jaguar and Ford for on-the-job evaluation by their FMEA engineers.
