A fuzzy approach to reliability analysis
Authors
Abstract:
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 fuzzy differential equation for reliability, two types of fuzzy derivative: Hukuhara derivative and generalized differentiability are used. It is proved that the Hukuhara differentiability is not adequate for fuzzy reliability analysis. Finally, using the fuzzy integration, the concept of fuzzy mean time to failure (FMTTF) will be introduced. Some numerical simulations are presented to show the applicability and validity of generalized differentiability, in comparison with the Hukuhara differentiability results for fuzzy reliability analysis.

A Fuzzy Approach to Sequential Failure Analysis Using Petri nets
In highly competitive industrial market, the concept of failure analysis is an unavoidable fact in complex industrial systems. Reliability of such systems not only depends on the reliability of each element of these systems, but also depends on occurrence of sequence of failures. In this paper, a novel approach to sequential failure analysis is proposed which is based upon fuzzy logic and the c...

This paper presents an extension of Bayesian networks (BN) applied to reliability analysis of an open gas generator cycle Liquid propellant engine (OGLE) of launch vehicles. There are several methods for system reliability analysis such as RBD, FTA, FMEA, Markov Chains, and etc. But for complex systems such as LV, they are not all efficiently applicable due to failure dependencies between compo...

For the justification of the proposed approach the fuzzy reliability of the desirable movement of an electric robot has been analyzed using the existing approaches [1, 3, 5] and the proposed approach. Comparing the results of existing approaches and the proposed approach, it has been shown that the uncertainty about the reliability is minimized using the proposed approach and the results are ex...

In this paper, we investigate the extraction of fuzzy rules from data tables based on possibility theory. A possibilistic decision language is used to represent the extracted fuzzy rules. The algorithm for rule extraction is presented and the complexity analysis is carried out. Since the results of the rule induction process strongly depend on the representation language, we also discuss some a...

This paper investigates the stability analysis of fuzzy relational dynamic systems. A new approach is introduced and a set of sufficient conditions is derived which sustains the unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point in a first-order fuzzy relational dynamic system with sumproduct fuzzy composition. This approach is also investigated for other types of fuzzy relational composit...

Meta-analysis is a statistical procedure to do syntheses of evidences. In the production of scientific knowledge, in spite of paradigmatic skips of quality, the rising of the accumulation of acquired knowledge (based in camed studies) is, in the general, the way as science moves forward to accomplish new discoveries and to confirm other already obtained. The methods developed for the attainment...
