“…Fuzzy rule bases, and the fuzzy logic in general on which they operate, act as a nonlinear mapping between inputs and outputs by means of determining the degree of membership to which "crisp" inputs belong to "fuzzy" qualitative states and using the fuzzy states to determine the consequence of the given inputs. Fuzzy rule bases have found application for fault diagnosis in various disciplines and numerous components-many of which are found in NPPs-including induction motors (Shetgaonkar, 2017), other standard rotating machinery (Da Silva et al, 2017), spur gears (Krishnakumari et al, 2017), bearings (Berredjem and Benidir, 2018), power transformers (Husain, 2018), diesel generators (Nain and Varde, 2013), distributed sensor networks (Bhajantri, 2018), and high-power lithium-ion batteries (Wu et al, 2017).…”
