摘要

Owing to inadequate degradation data, the randomness and the fuzziness of degradation processes, it is difficult to calculate the reliability of product. By investigating performance reliability using degradation data of performance, the authors proposed a method of analyzing reliability of performance degradation data using Monte Carlo principle and cloud theory. First of all, the performance degradation cloud with the degradation amount and the entropy which denotes the possible discrete degree of the degradation data, is generated by using performance degradation data and a cloud theory forward cloud generator. Then, the minimum membership threshold of cloud droplets and the threshold of product failure were set. Meanwhile, the number of cloud droplets that comply with the minimum membership degree and the failure threshold were counted. Finally, the reliability method of performance degradation data was proposed by using the principle of Monte Carlo and the cloud theory. In this work, the cloud theory was introduced to verify the reliability of the performance degradation of the product. The randomness and the fuzziness in the degradation tests are resolved. In addition, due to the limits of degradation test data, the difficulties in calculation of the reliability is resolved using the principle of Monte Carlo, the minimum membership of cloud droplets and its minimum degree are therefore guaranteed. This work provides a new method of simulating the reliability of degradation. The feasibility of the method was validated by an example ensuring a high durability of conveyor belt joints is tantamount to guaranteeing their reliable operation and that the results of research conducted so far fail to provide unambiguous solutions to a number of problems that emerge in this case, it is advisable that advanced studies using computer techniques should be conducted within this area.
