Abstract
It is obvious that the reliability modeling is the most important discipline of reliable engineering (Kaufmann and Gupta, 1988). Traditionally, the reliability of a system’s behavior is fully characterized in the context of probability measures. However, because of the inaccuracy and uncertainties of data, the estimation of precise values of probability becomes very difficult in many systems (Chen, 1996). In recent years, some researchers have used the fuzzy set theory (Zadeh, 1965) for fuzzy system reliability analysis.
