Multiple quadratic performance functions are used to replace the original complicated performance function piecewise, and the combination of failure domains of these quadratic performance functions is as close as to the failure domain of original performance function. The reliability indexes of quadratic performance functions are calculated by second order reliability method. All the minimum cut sets to describe the original failure domain are obtained by using the failure domains of quadratic performance functions according to the concept of the minimum cut set. All the minimum cut sets of equivalent failure domains were obtained to express the original failure domain by substituting quadratic failure domains with equivalent failure domains.
