  • 摘要:

    Reliability models based on Markov chain (Except in queuing systems) have extensive
    applications in electrical and electronic devices. In this paper we consider a system with n parallel and
    identical elements with constant failure rates (failure rates are exponentially distributed) and the elements
    are non repairable. The failure rates increase when some elements are failed. The system works until at
    least k elements work. Since the data for the failure rates are either based on historical data or the judgment
    of the experts, therefore uncertainty is inherent in the information. These uncertainties can be expressed as
    fuzzy rates. For simplicity we consider a triangular fuzzy number either to quantify a linguistic expression
    or if estimated quantitative data is available, this fuzzy numbers can be calculated by point estimation and
    % (1-b) confidence interval of the parameters of the failure rates. The system of equations are established
    and the exact equations are sought for the parameters like MTTF and the probability that system working at
    the time t. A numerical example has been solved to demonstrate the procedure which clarifies the
    theoretical development. Use of fuzzy parameters to model the uncertainties in the system causes this
    model to tackle more realistic situations.
