Cold standby redundancy optimization for nonrepairable series-parallel systems: Erlang time to failure distribution
In modeling a cold standby redundancy allocation problem (RAP) with imperfect switching mechanism, deriving a closed form version of a system reliability is too difficult. A convenient lower bound on system reliability is proposed and this approximation is widely used as a part of objective function for a system reliability maximization problem in the literature. Considering this lower bound do...
متن کاملAvailability and profit analysis of a two-unit cold standby system for general distribution
This paper discussed a two-unit cold standby system by considering the concepts of degradation, inspection, preventive maintenance (PM), and priority. The unit works as a reduced capacity after its repair and is called degraded unit. There is a single repairman who visits the system immediately. The repairman inspects the failed degraded unit to see the feasibility of repair. If the repair of t...
متن کاملComparing Parallel Simulated Annealing, Parallel Vibrating Damp Optimization and Genetic Algorithm for Joint Redundancy-Availability Problems in a Series-Parallel System with Multi-State Components
In this paper, we study different methods of solving joint redundancy-availability optimization for series-parallel systems with multi-state components. We analyzed various effective factors on system availability in order to determine the optimum number and version of components in each sub-system and consider the effects of improving failure rates of each component in each sub-system and impr...
متن کاملAvailability Optimization of a Series Repairable System with Multiple k-out-of-n Subsystems
An availability model is developed to optimize the availability of a series repairable system with multiple k-out-of-n subsystems in this paper. There are two types of decision variables that determine the system designer’s decision to allocate the number of repairmen and to allocate the number of redundant components in each subsystem in the presence of weight, volume and cost constraint...
متن کاملDeveloping a new model for availability optimization applied to a series-parallel system (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)
Redundancy technique is known as a way to enhance the reliability and availability of non-reparable systems, but for repairable systems, another factor is getting prominent called as the number of maintenance resources. In this study, availability optimization of series-parallel systems is modelled by using Markovian process by which the number of maintenance resources is located into the obje...
