14.6. Washing Machine Problem

In the next section we shall build a FLC for the two-input, one-output, three-rule washing machine problem discussed earlier in Section 14.2. The basic structure of FLC is shown in the Figure 14.9.

Figure 14.9. Fuzzy Model for Washing Machine Example

The two crisp inputs Quality and Dirtiness vary from 0 to 10 and are presented as fuzzy sets defined by their respective MFs. Let the output; washing time be allowed to have three linguistic values small, average and large. Similarly, let the input variable; quantity of clothes be expressed as small, normal and large and dirtiness of clothes be ...
