Function-based failure mode identification and detection in conceptual design: extending the function-failure design methodology to electrical systems

Author

Scott J. Uder

Abstract

"A strong need has emerged in the aerospace industry for a well-founded and effective failure prevention technique or process that can be employed during the conceptual design of high-risk aerospace systems. A methodology is described to support risk assessment and failure prevention during the earliest stages of spacecraft design and mission planning. The three-step procedure utilizes detailed information from existing subsystems and systematically abstracts this information to a level that can be used during conceptual design. The complete method is described in general before being applied to two major unmanned spacecraft subsystems."--Abstract, page v.
