Fuzzy performance of a coherent system (Q1081520): Difference between revisions

In the traditional reliability theory the system and its components are in either of two states: functioning or failed. In some recent papers the functioning is described by a finite number of states, from perfect functioning to complete failure. In this paper we generalize the situation further by describing the performance of the system and the components by fuzzy numbers in [0,1]. For the fuzzy performance of a coherent system we obtain results which are analogous to those for the reliability of a coherent system.
