ABSTRACT:
In this paper, we
investigate the reliability analysis of a powerloom plant by using interval
valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFS). Herein, we modeled a powerloom plant
as a gracefully degradable system having two units A(n) and B(m)
connected in series. The reliability ofncomponents of unitAandmcomponents of unitBis assumed to be an IVIFS defined over
the universe of discourse [0, 1]. Thus, the reliability of the system obtained
is an IVIFS that covers the inherited uncertainty in data collection and
reliability evaluation of a powerloom plant.
