peer agreement (net): +3fault tree Explanation: See e.g.: ‘Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a top down, deductive failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is analyzed using Boolean logic to combine a series of lower-level events. This analysis method is mainly used in the fields of safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to reduce risk or to determine (or get a feeling for) event rates of a safety accident or a particular system level (functional) failure. FTA is used in the aerospace, nuclear power, chemical and process,[1][2][3] pharmaceutical, petrochemical and other high-hazard industries; but is also used in fields as diverse as risk factor identification relating to social service system failure.[4]’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tree_analysis -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2014-09-23 11:26:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think ‘failure diagram’ or ‘fault diagram’ is fine too. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2014-09-23 11:29:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See also: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q="faalboom" fault tree diag...
