Sammendrag
Technical systems are becoming more and more complex with a degree of dependencies. Such dependency issues can significantly reduce system reliability and cause catastrophes without proper prevention. Therefore, a variety of control measures, such as safety barriers, are necessary to be adopted against dependent failures and ensure the safety of technical systems. However, in the current literature, neither the effects of dependent failures within safety barriers nor the impact of safety barriers against dependent failures has been well studied. Therefore, it is desirable to analyze and model the effects of safety barriers in complex systems considering dependency issues, such as dependency between safety barriers and the environment, dependent failures within safety barriers, and safety barriers against dependent failures. The Ph.D. thesis bridges safety barriers and complex systems by considering the dependency issues. The aim is broken into four objectives addressed in five journal articles and three conference articles.
