چکیده
The technique introduced in this paper is a new technique for analyzing fault tolerant designs under considerable uncertainty, such as seen in unique or few-of-a-kind devices in poorly known environments or pre-prototype design analyses. This technique is able to provide useful information while maintaining the uncertainty inherent in the original speci®cations. The technique introduced here is a logical extension of the underlying concepts of fuzzy sets and Markov models. Although originally developed for robotic systems, the technique is more broadly applicable. This paper develops fuzzy Markov modeling and uses it to analyze a speci®c robot designed for hazardous waste removal and speci®c types of electronic systems. q 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

متن کاملDevelopment of the step complexity measure for emergency operating procedures using entropy concepts
The measure that can evaluate step complexity of emergency operating procedures is developed. To verify appropriateness of developed measure, some comparative evaluations were performed. From these comparisons, it can be concluded that developed measure reasonably quantifies the degree of step complexity.
متن کاملModeling of uncertainties in reliability centered maintenance - a probabilistic approach
Uncertainties in the decision making of reliability centered maintenance (RCM) are discussed. These uncertainties might be unacceptable in many practical applications, leading to non-optimum maintenance strategies. An alternative approach, opening for speci®ed uncertainties is shown to correct this defect. Exemplifying the approach, a simple ®re detection system is discussed. q 2001 Elsevier Sc...
متن کاملA new model with bathtub-shaped failure rate using an additive Burr XII distribution
It is a common situation that the failure rate function has a bathtub shape for many mechanical and electronic components. A simple model based on adding two Burr XII distributions is presented for modeling this type data. The graphical estimation on probability paper is illustrated, and examples of its usage are presented. The Akaike Information Criterion was used for judging the adequacy of t...
متن کاملCriticality and sensitivity analysis of the components of a system
In the design of complex systems there is a great interest to know the relative importance of each of their elements. In this paper, we define a new method for measuring the relative importance of each element of the system. We have to specify that this paper concerns only nonrepairable systems and components. We present a way of calculating the criticality of each component for a complex syste...
