METHOD FOR ANALYZING FAULTS PRESENT ON A PLATFORM AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing faults present on a platform (10), in particular an aircraft, including the following steps:
- (a) providing (40) a table of correspondence (60) between a plurality of observable symptoms on the platform (10) and the fault modes capable of creating each observable symptom;
(b) measuring (42) the symptoms present on the platform (10) and selecting at least part of the measured present symptoms;
(c) establishing (44) at least one family of faults, the establishment step comprising the following phases;
obtaining (100), from the table of correspondence (60), a list of fault modes capable of creating, alone or in combination, all of the selected symptoms that are present; and
, for each given fault mode of said list;
placing (108, 110) a given fault mode in a fault family;
grouping together (114, 116), within the same fault family as the given fault mode, all of the fault modes of said list capable of creating at least one selected present symptom in common with the given fault mode.

Abstract
A method for analyzing faults present on a platform includes the following steps:
(a) providing a table of correspondence between a plurality of observable symptoms on the platform (10) and the fault modes capable of creating each observable symptom;
(b) measuring the observable symptoms present on the platform (10);
(c) establishing at least one family of faults, including determining a list of fault modes capable of creating, alone or in combination, all of the selected present symptoms, placing each given fault mode of the group in a fault family, and grouping all of the fault modes capable of creating at least one selected present symptom shared with the given fault mode together in the same fault family as the given fault mode. The method is applicable to fault analyses on aircrafts.

15. A system (12) for analyzing faults present on a platform, comprising:
-
means (22) for storing a table of correspondence (60) between a plurality of observable symptoms on the platform (10) and the fault modes capable of creating each observable symptoms; means (20A to 20C) for measuring the observable symptoms present on the platform (10) and selecting at least some of the measured present symptoms; means (22) for establishing at least one fault family, the establishment means comprising; means for obtaining, from the table of correspondence (60), a list of fault modes capable of creating, alone or in combination, all of the selected present symptoms; means for placing each given fault mode of said list in a fault family; means for grouping together, in the same fault family as the given fault, all of the fault modes from the list capable of creating at least one selected present symptom shared with the given fault mode.
