Abstract
Some fault data in an actual system operation has the strong discretization and big data characteristics. Meanwhile, the external factors affect the system reliability, and the change of factors may lead to the change of system reliability. At present, the methods in safety system engineering lack the ability to process the multi-factor influence and fault big data simultaneously. But these are the general problems that the actual system reliability analysis must face to be resolved. In order to solve the problems, on the basis of Discrete Space Fault Tree (DSFT), the Fuzzy Structured Element method is introduced to construct the Fuzzy Structured Element Discrete Space Fault Tree (EDSFT). The method can analyze the multi-factor influence on system reliability with DSFT, and use Fuzzy Structured Element (E) to denote the discrete characteristics of fault big data. The results of EDSFT with E can preserve the characteristics of the original fault data distribution and lay the foundation for the analysis of fault big data. The research is particularly suitable for the analysis of system reliability under the fault big data and multi-factor influence.
