摘要:The object of this paper is a method that allows to
determine the criticality of a system. As a case study, it is
considered a Variable Pitch Propeller (VPP) Plant: at first it is
studied to understand its characteristics and operating logics
and, subsequently, four possible Operating Modes were
identified. For each Operating Mode a fault tree is modelled in
TARAS, a software that allows calculating the MTBF (Mean
Time Between Failures) of the plant. Subsequently, the results
are validated using a block diagram.
Finally, a FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality
Analysis) is carried out: it includes both an analysis aimed at
highlighting which are the possible failure modes and their
consequences on the operation of the VPP Plant and a
criticality analysis aimed at identifying which items are more
critical than others for the specific Operating Mode and which
Operating Mode is more critical than other.
