摘要:Fuzzy set based methods have been proved to be effective in handling many types of uncertainties indifferent fields, including reliability engineering. This paper presents a new approach on fuzzy type-2 reliability, basedon the use of type-2 FOU as membership function. Considering experts ideas and by asking operators linguisticvariables, a rule base is designed to determine the level of reliability of each component. The outputs of the presentedmodel are type-2 fuzzy sets representing the reliability levels of components. After determining the level of reliabilityof each component, the reliability of the composed system can be determined by using t-norm and s-norm functions.The system can be parallel, series, parallel- series or series-parallel.In the present paper the probabilistic consideration of basic events is replaced by possibilities, thereby leadingto fuzzy fault tree analysis. Triangular and trapezoidal type-2 fuzzy numbers are used to represent the failure possibilityof basic events. The failure possibility of a basic event will be assigned more than one type-2 fuzzy numbers bydifferent experts under various operating conditions. The proposed techniques are discussed and illustrated by taking anexample of a Thermal power plant.
