Safety matrix failure modes

These functions are the basis for the Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA), for the identification of possible hazards. In workshops with experts - to combine technical, domain and safety know-how - various techniques are applied. This includes brainstorming, use of historical data and functional failure modes and effects analysis to identrfy possible failure modes, their operational effects and the respective severity of the worst credible outcome. Based on the safety-relevant failure modes, potential hazards are determined and respective risks are allocated according to the risk matrix. The FHA leads to derivation of top level hazards. 

A possible adjunct to the laminate design procedure is a specific laminate failure criterion that is based on the maximum strain criterion. In such a criterion, all lamina failure modes are ignored except for fiber failure. That is, matrix cracking is regarded as unimportant. The criterion is exercised by finding the strains in the fiber directions of each layer. When these strains exceed the fiber failure strain in a particular type of layer, then that layer is deemed to have failed. Obviously, more laminae of that fiber orientation are needed to successfully resist the applied load. That is, this criterion allows us to preserve the identity of the failing lamina or laminae so that more laminae of that type (fiber orientation) can be added to the laminate to achieve a positive margin of safety. 

First, the importance of learning lessons from past process safety incidents is highlighted in Section 3.2. The subsequent section presents preliminary hazard review procedure, risk matrix, what-if method, plot plan and layout review, pressure relief system review and fire safety design aspects. Section 3.4 presents PHA techniques and procedures hazards and operability analysis (HAZOP), failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), instrumented protective system (IPS) design, fault trees, event trees, layer of protection analysis (LOPA) and finally SIS life eyele. The importanee of revision of PSI is highlighted in Seetion 3.5.

In TSC, the results of FMEA should be captured and the catalog of typical hardware failures from Annex D of ISO 26262 Part 5 should be considered, in order to be sure that all potential failure modes have been dealt with. It is recommendable to use links between safety mechanisms and failure modes or to arrange them in a matrix notation (as in [11], for instance) in order to demonstrate to reviewers and assessors that all failure modes have been covered by safety mechanisms. In cases where quantitative analysis and metrics calculation is required, this demonstration has to be performed in a quantitative manner, as well, regarding the Diagnostic Coverage of each safety mechanism. This requires FMEDA or quantitative Fault Tree Analysis to be carried out. A few examples of typical technical safety mechanisms in the context of CMS could be ...
