System-Level Vulnerability Assessment for EME: From Fault Tree Analysis to Bayesian Networks—Part I: Methodology Framework
- 2016
Engineering, Environmental Science
The thought of divide-and-rule to cope with the electromagnetic risk assessment is provided, which divides the system into relatively independent and manageable subsystems, and after respective tests and computations, the subsets of data are fused to characterize the whole system.
