Application of Structure Function in System Reliability Analysis based on Uncertain Data

چکیده
An important step in reliability evaluation of any system is selection of an appropriate mathematical representation. One of the possible mathematical representations is structure function that expresses dependency of system state on states of its components. This function must be completely specified for reliability evaluation of the analyzed system. The structure function is constructed based on complete information about the system structure and possible components states. However, there are a lot of practical problems when the complete information is not available because data from which it can be derived cannot be collected. As a rule, other mathematical representations and methods for evaluation of system reliability are used in these situations. In this paper, we propose a new method for construction of the structure function from uncertain or incomplete data. This method is developed based on application of Fuzzy

COMPARISON OF RELIABILITY BASED AND DISPLACEMENT BASED OPTIMIZATION OF TUNED MASS DAMPERS REGARDING UNCERTAINTY
Some structural control systems have been devised to protect structures against earthquakes, which the tuned mass damper (TMD) being one of the earliest. The effect of a tuned mass damper depends on its properties, such as mass, damping coefficient, and stiffness. The parameters of tuned mass dampers need to be tuned based on the main system and applied load. In most of the papers, the paramete...

This paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. It proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. Based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...
متن کاملA fuzzy approach to reliability analysis
Most of the existing approaches for fuzzy reliability analysis are based on fuzzy probability. The aim of this paper is to describe fuzzy reliability using fuzzy differential equation. The reliability of a system in real world applications is affected by some uncertain parameters. Fuzzy reliability is a way to present the reliability function uncertainly using fuzzy parameters. In the proposed...

In this paper, the uncertain dynamic parameters of an experimental target tracker robot are identified through the application of genetic algorithm. The considered serial robot is a two-degree-of-freedom dynamic system with two revolute joints in which damping coefficients and inertia terms are uncertain. First, dynamic equations governing the robot system are extracted and then, simulated nume...
متن کاملApplication of Fuzzy Decision Trees in Construction of Mathematical Model for Reliability Analysis based on Uncertain Data
Data mining (DM) is a collection of algorithms that are used to find some novel, useful and interesting knowledge in databases. Some methods of these fields can be used to find hidden relation between data, what can be used to create models that predict some behavior or describe some common properties of analyzed objects. In this paper, we combine methods of DM with tools of reliability analysi...
