Σύνοψη	Robust reliability analysis is an engineering method that combines classical reliability estimation with robustness principles to quantify and improve system dependability in the presence of parameter uncertainty and variability. Rather than assuming fixed input values, it propagates distributions of noise factors through a reliability model to produce probability-of-failure estimates that remain valid across a range of operating conditions and manufacturing tolerances.	Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a top-down, deductive reliability method that begins with an undesired top-level failure event and systematically traces backward through chains of contributing causes using Boolean logic gates (AND, OR). First formalized by Watson at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1961 and later standardized by Vesely, Goldberg, Roberts, and Haasl in the landmark 1981 NRC Fault Tree Handbook, FTA has become a cornerstone of quantitative risk assessment in nuclear, aerospace, and industrial safety engineering.
