Control loops make failure-mode analysis via fault trees extremely difficult. This paper proposes a new approach based on signal flow graphs to model systems with control loops. Mason's Rule is ...

The pictorial representation of either continuous or discrete systems accomplished by the signal flow-graph technique is extended to mixed discrete-continuous (hybrid) systems. A new flow-graph symbol ...

Graph Representation: Tools to create and visualize signal flow graphs, helping users to see the structure and flow of their systems. Mason's Gain Formula: Implementations to calculate the overall ...

Draw the signal flow graph Assignment of values to the branches Assignment of input and output node Solve the signal flow graph to get the transfer function Listing all forward paths, individual loops ...
