A failure event in a fault tree that requires further development.
The Voting OR gate in the fault tree indicates that if two components fail then the system will fail; while the node in the reliability block diagram indicates that if at least two components succeed then the system will succeed.
Fault tree analysis consists of ?events? and ?logic gates,? which connect the events to identify the cause of the top undesired event. Fault Tree Analysis is easier than the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) as it focuses on all possible system failures of an undesired top event.
A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock. Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake - or may occur slowly, in the form of creep. Faults may range in length from a few millimeters to thousands of kilometers.

Intermediate events (IE): These events are generally caused by one or more events. It has both an input and output. Another event may cause its failure, and most likely causes further failures down the fault tree. Basic events (BE): These types of events are generally the root cause of the top event.
? Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a top-down approach to failure analysis, starting with a potential undesirable event (accident) called a TOP event, and then determining all the ways it can happen. caused by individual or combined lower level failures or events.
