Fuzzy Reliability Assessment of Consecutive r Out of k From n G System Using UGF

Abstract

This chapter considers a consecutive r-out of-k-from n: G system taken for the study. The considered system works if at least r elements out of k consecutive elements within n elements work. The consecutive r-out of-k-from n: G system is special case of linear consecutive k-out-of-r-from-n:G system. A technique is applied for analyzing fuzzy reliability of the system using universal generating function and fuzzy set theory. At the end of the chapter, the proposed technique is demonstrated from a numerical example.
