A system simulation using qualitative descriptions of component behaviors and a functional reasoning tool are used to identify the functional impact of a large set of potential single and multiple fault scenarios. The impact of each scenario is collected as the set of categorical function \u201chealth\u201d states for each component-level function in the system. This data represents the space of potential system states. The clustering and statistical tools presented in this paper are used to identify patterns in this system state space. These patterns reflect the underlying emergent failure behavior of the system. Specifically, two data analysis tools are presented and compared. First, a modified<jats:italic>k<\/jats:italic>-means clustering algorithm is used with a distance metric of functional effect similarity. Second, a statistical approach known as latent class analysis is used to find an underlying probability model of potential system failure states. These tools are used to reason about how the system responds to complex fault scenarios and assists in identifying potential design changes for fault mitigation. As computational power increases, the ability to reason with large sets of data becomes as critical as the analysis methods used to collect that data. The goal of this work is to provide complex system designers with a means of using early design simulation data to identify and mitigate potential emergent failure behavior.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0890060414000547","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,30]],"date-time":"2014-09-30T11:02:51Z","timestamp":1412074971000},"page":"385-398","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Reasoning about system-level failure behavior from large sets of function-based simulations"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"David C.","family":"Jensen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oladapo","family":"Bello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Hoyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Irem Y.","family":"Tumer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0890060414000547_ref27","first-page":"25","article-title":"The function failure design method","volume":"14","author":"Stone","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Mechanical Design"},{"key":"S0890060414000547_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Papakonstantinou N. , Jensen D. , Sierla S. , & Tumer I.Y.
