Models and Measures for Fuzzy Reliability and Relationship to Multi-State Reliability

چکیده
This paper proposes a new perspective and methodology to model the behavior of the components as well as the system using the theory and methods for fuzzy sets. We propose to use the indicator or performance or substitute variable which is very well understood by the customer to fuzzify the states of the component or the system. Both component and system’s fuzzy reliability definitions and models are constructed under fuzzy binary states and multi-state assumptions. Numerical examples are given to compute fuzzy reliability measures which also illustrate their advantages over the classical reliability measures.

Reliability Measures Measurement under Rule-Based Fuzzy Logic Technique
In reliability theory, the reliability measures contend the very important and depreciative role for any system analysis. Measurement of reliability measures is not easy due to ambiguity and vagueness which exist within reliability parameters. It is also very difficult to incorporate a large amount of uncertainty in well-established methodologies and techniques. However, fuzzy logic provides an...

Breakwaters are among the most frequently-used coastal protective structures and their stability is vital to avoid turbulence at the ports. The main purpose of the present research is to use the theory of fuzzy random variables and the second-order reliability method (SORM) to study the reliability of a rubble-mound breakwater against the failure due to the armor layer instability. The limit-st...

متن کاملModel-based Approach for Multi-sensor Fault Identification in Power Plant Gas Turbines
In this paper, the multi-sensor fault diagnosis in the exhaust temperature sensors of a V94.2 heavy duty gas turbine is presented. A Laguerre network-based fuzzy modeling approach is presented to predict the output temperature of the gas turbine for sensor fault diagnosis. Due to the nonlinear dynamics of the gas turbine, in these models the Laguerre filter parts are related to the linear d...
