A New Mathematical Model for a Redundancy Allocation Problem with Mixing Components Redundant and Choice of Redundancy Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new mathematical model of a redundancy allocation problem with mixing components redundant in subsystems of a series-parallel system when the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. In practice both active and coldstandby redundancies are used within a particular system design, and the choice of the redundancy strategy becomes an additional decision variable. The proposed model selects the best redundancy strategy, combination of components, and levels of redundancy for each subsystem in order to maximize the system reliability under systemlevel constraints.

Redundancy allocation problem for k-out-of-n systems with a choice of redundancy strategies
To increase the reliability of a specific system, using redundant components is a common method which is called redundancy allocation problem (RAP). Some of the RAP studies have focused on k-out-of-n systems. However, all of these studies assumed predetermined active or standby strategies for each subsystem. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a k-out-of-<em...

This paper proposes a new mathematical model for multi-objective redundancy allocation problem (RAP) without component mixing in each subsystem when the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. Majority of the mathematical model for the multi-objective redundancy allocation problems (MORAP) assume that the redundancy strategy for each subsystem is predetermined and fixed...
متن کاملReliability Optimization for Complicated Systems with a Choice of Redundancy Strategies (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Redundancy allocation is one of the common techniques to increase the reliability of the bridge systems. Many studies on the general redundancy allocation problems assume that the redundancy strategy for each subsystem is predetermined and fixed. In general, active redundancy has received more attention in the past. However, in real world, a particular system design contains both active and col...
متن کاملA New Nonlinear Multi-objective Redundancy Allocation Model with the Choice of Redundancy Strategy Solved by the Compromise Programming Approach
One of the primary concerns in any system design problem is to prepare a highly reliable system with minimum cost. One way to increase the reliability of systems is to use redundancy in different forms such as active or standby. In this paper, a new nonlinear multi- objective integer programming model with the choice of redundancy strategy and component type is developed where standby strategy ...
متن کاملA Memtic genetic algorithm for a redundancy allocation problem
Abstract In general redundancy allocation problems the redundancy strategy for each subsystem is predetermined. Tavakkoli- Moghaddam presented a series-parallel redundancy allocation problem with mixing components (RAPMC) in which the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. In this paper, we present a bi-objective redundancy allocation when the redundancy strategies for...
