Digraph and matrix approach for risk evaluations under Pythagorean fuzzy information

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a novel technique for risk evaluation in FMEA.

• New triangular Pythagorean fuzzy numbers describe interrelations between risk factors.

• Defuzzify triangular Pythagorean fuzzy numbers to calculate risk priority indexes.

• Visual description of risk factors in the form of a Pythagorean fuzzy digraph.

• Case study of a steam valve system shows the potential applications of the model.
