A Novel Reliability Evaluation Method for Series−Parallel Systems Based on Cloud Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cloud model has been used in the field of reliability evaluation successfully. It solves the problem of reliability evaluation under variable working conditions. In the past, most work was focused on the reliability evaluation of single product. For this reason, a hybrid method based on non-probabilistic cloud model and traditional probability statistics is proposed. It solves the reliability evaluation problem of series-parallel systems when the working conditions are variable or described by qualitative language values. Experimental results of series-parallel system reliability evaluation show that this method is very effective and practical.
