چکیده

In this paper, a computational model of fuzzy reliability focusing on solving the engineering problems with random general stress–fuzzy general strength is presented. The mathematical basis of this computational model is that the fuzzy probability can be computed with the computational method of conventional probability by use of a mathematical transition. Based on this computational model, a numerical algorithm is given which can be applied to compute the fuzzy reliability of mechanical components, sensors, electronic units, etc. This establishes a basis for the reliability analysis of systems consisting of components with fuzzy reliability. As an example, a case study about the fuzzy reliability analysis of a kind of sensor used in railway systems is provided to verify the logic of this algorithm. The computation results show that this algorithm fits the engineering experience. q 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Reliability Optimization of a Series-parallel System with Fuzzy Random Lifetimes

This paper studies reliability optimization of a series-parallel system with fuzzy random lifetimes. A fuzzy random reliability model is developed to maximize the system reliability. Since the reliability function consists of fuzzy random parameters, classical mathematical programming methods is not applicable to the reliability model. Therefore, in order to solve the model, a fuzzy random simu...

MEAN-ABSOLUTE DEVIATION PORTFOLIO SELECTION MODEL WITH FUZZY RETURNS

In this paper, we consider portfolio selection problem in which security returns are regarded as fuzzy variables rather than random variables. We first introduce a concept of absolute deviation for fuzzy variables and prove some useful properties, which imply that absolute deviation may be used to measure risk well. Then we propose two mean-absolute deviation models by defining risk as abs...
