Risk-based optimal safety measure allocation for dust explosions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a risk-based optimal allocation of safety measures while considering both available budget and acceptable residual risk, and applied the methodology to the aluminum dust explosion that occurred at Hayes Lemmerz International, Huntington, Indiana, US in October 2003.

Improving the analysis of dependable systems by mapping fault trees into Bayesian networks

TL;DR: It is shown that any FT can be directly mapped into a BN and that basic inference techniques on the latter may be used to obtain classical parameters computed from the former, i.e. reliability of the Top Event or of any sub-system, criticality of components, etc.
