Abstract

This paper presents an algebraic framework allowing to algebraically model dynamic gates and determine the structure function of any Dynamic Fault Tree (DFT). This structure function can then be exploited to perform both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of DFTs directly, even though this latter aspect is not detailed in this paper. We illustrate our approach on a DFT example from the literature.
