Updating probability reliability model based on fuzzy bayesian theory

Bayesian theory is an effective tool for updating prior failure probabilities based on the information from non-destructive inspection (NDI) of offshore structures. However, the preceding theorem failed to adequately deal with the uncertainties of the subjective parameters associated with NDI. Based on the basic principles of fuzzy set theory, a fuzzy Bayesian procedure was introduced to quantify the modeling uncertainty, including the uncertainty of model selection, the uncertainty of distribution parameter, and the fuzzy uncertainties in NDI. An algorithm to compute the weights of posterior probability model was presented, and the posterior probability and distribution of parameters were analyzed with the fuzzy Bayesian theorem. The prior probabilities of model weights were determined by the use of fuzzy synthetic evaluation. Some examples were investigated to illustrate the validation of the proposed method. The result shows that the effects of fuzzy uncertainties can be very significant to updating the reliability modeling.
