Definition

state of an item being unable to perform a required function due to a failure event

Semi-Formal Definition:

β€œfailed state’: every instance of β€˜failed state’ is defined as exactly an instance of β€˜maintenance state’ o1 that β€˜has participant at all times’ some β€˜maintainable material item’ i and that is β€˜initiated by’ some β€˜failure event’ and is β€˜preceded by’ some (β€˜degraded state’ or β€˜operating state’) o2 that β€˜has participant at all times’ i and there is no (β€˜degraded state’ or β€˜operating state’ ) o3 such that o3 β€˜has participant at all times’ i and o2 β€˜precedes’ o3 and o3 β€˜precedes’ o1”

Examples

  • is broken in two, is burst, is failing to turn on

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Definition

FailedState(o1) ↔ MaintenanceState(o1) ∧ βˆƒi(MaintainableMaterialItem(i) ∧ hasParticipantAtAllTimes(o1, i) ∧ βˆƒe(FailureEvent(e) ∧ initiates(e, o1)) ∧ βˆƒo2((DegradedState(o2) ∨ OperatingState(o2) ∧ hasParticipantAtAllTimes(o2,i)) ∧ precedes(o2, o1)) ∧ Β¬βˆƒo3((DegradedState(o3) ∨ OperatingState(o3)) ∧ hasParticipantAtAllTimes(o3,i) ∧ precedes(o2, o3) ∧ precedes(o3, o1)))
