Abstract :
The use of knowledge-based techniques to perform a reliability analysis of aerospace systems is discussed. Knowledge-based systems can be used by reliability engineers or design engineers to improve the accuracy of reliability analysis in a shorter amount of time than in current reliability analysis techniques. A system for performing a reliability analysis of a fault-tolerant electrical power system of an aircraft is presented. Results are compared with manually performed reliability analyses
