Safety and reliability models of time-dependent systems

The paper concerns models with time dependencies that can be used in modelling dynamic reliability and complex maintenance processes. Emphasis is put on models that have been elaborated with authors participation. The following models are presented: fault trees with time dependencies, probabilistic fault trees with time dependencies, reliability enhanced activity diagrams. The above models are illustrated by examples. Both types of fault trees are used in modelling the time coordination of distance protections in high voltage transmission line. Then reliability enhanced activity diagrams that express the maintenance process of computer system with redundant components. Components are submitted to failures and repairs.
