Failure Analysis by Statistical Techniques (FAST). Volume 2. User's Manual (Appendices)

Abstract

This document is a user's manual for the FAST (Failure Analysis by Statistical Techniques) computer code. FAST is a technique for performing a statistical evaluation of the survivability of military or civilian systems subjected to a hostile environment such as would be caused by a nuclear burst or earthquake. The document contains a description of the analysis formulation, the inputs needed to perform system assessment studies, and the code and its operation, and a demonstration of the code operation through documentation of a sample problem which has been designed to address the key aspects of the methodology and its practical application.
