Computer aided failure mode and effect analysis; Tietokoneavusteinen vika- ja vaikutusanalyysi

Abstract

The aim of this study was to create a program with which the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) of analog electronic circuits can be made as automatically as possible. The study of computer aided FMEA was based on the fact that there is no suitable program for this purpose in the market, and that the manual performance of FMEA is usually arduous. This report includes information about the structure, memory control, interface and other characteristics of the program as well as the theoretical methods used in programming. The FMEA, the characteristics, and use of the program in general are illustrated also by examples. Finally, the program and the future needs of developing it are evaluated. The analog circuits that include the most usual electronic components can be evaluated in their normal and failure form at DC, AC or transient level. The FMEA can be performed automatically or interactively, and the program always gives the node voltages as a result of the simulation. The selection of components and analyses in this program is not as versatile as in many commercial circuit simulation programs, but on the other hand, the structure of the program makes it possible to extend the characteristics  More>>
