Book Description
It is often difficult and time consuming, if not computationally impossible, to locate a failed component in a large complex system. Recently, the U.S. Army Research and Technology Laboratories at Moffett Field, California, have established a theory stating that the minimum number of test points required for conclusive detection of system failure is equal to the total number of terminal test points; this set of points constitutes the optimal choice. In this report the authors have developed an optimal diagnostic strategy for finding a failed component in a malfunctioning system.
