Response of Structural Systems with Uncertain Parameters: A Comparative Study of Probabilistic and Fuzzy Sets Models
Due to the limitation in space, this paper only presents the conclusions of a study on the response of structures with uncertain properties such as mass, stiffness and damping. In the...

Fuzzy Set Evaluation of Lunar Structures
The design, construction, and performance assessment of lunar structures are unprecedented in nature. Experts in these areas tend to use qualitative measures when expressing their judgment....

Expert Opinions and Expert Systems
The inference mechanism in most current expert (rule-based production) systems is based on exact matching of the antecedent or consequent of a rule with a fact or hypothesis. The rule...

Fault Diagnosis of Hazardous Waste Incineration Facilities Using a Fuzzy Expert System
The use of an expert system along with fuzzy fault tree analysis is discussed in connection with fault diagnosis of a hazardous waste incineration facility. This fault tree is a diagrammatic...

Fuzzy Sets Bring Ideas Into Focus
Fuzzy set theory was born out of a dissatisfaction with classical crisp sets and binary logic. Conventional computers, despite 30 years of evolution, are still rigidly precise, number...

Risk Assessment of Sea Bottom Scouring Using Fuzzy Set Theory
An approach to the assessment of risk to buried pipelines from ice gouging is developed using Fuzzy Set Theory. Statistical procedures currently used to analyze ice gouge data are inadequate...
