A Novel Algorithm for Estimating Reliability of Ready-to-use Systems in Designing Phase for Designed Lifetime Based on Markov Method and Fuzzy Approach

Abstract

Reliability is one of the most important factors of complex systems which play a crucial role in performance of modern systems. In this study, a novel algorithm for estimating reliability of ready-to-use systems in designing phase for designed lifetime is proposed. At first stage, the related studies are checked, and then fundamental theories of each section are presented. According to the particular structure of ready-to-use systems and Markov Chain conditions, a new model based on Markov method and Fuzzy approach is suggested. The performance of proposed model is validated by testing on a real system. Therefore, the reliability and mean time to failure of the industrial system is estimated by the algorithm. Finally, practical suggestions are recommended for optimizing the system reliability.
