Description
Summary:In this paper we focus on reliability analysis of systems whose components can be described in both a probability context and a possibility context. We introduce a uniform representation of reliability characteristics by different forms of uncertainty. The time-dependent reliability analysis of one-unit systems is presented. The various properties and methods for computing the reliability of coherent systems are studied. For illustrating the results obtained, series and parallel systems are considered and a numerical example is proposed.
