Reliability engineering

smallest set of components whose joint failure causes system failure, used to compute system reliability and in fault tree analysis.

In reliability engineering, minimal cut set refers to smallest set of components whose joint failure causes system failure, used to compute system reliability and in fault tree analysis. This meaning comes from Barlow (1965) in Mathematical theory of reliability.[1]
