<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is a common technique for increasing the reliability of systems. In this paper, new model RAP introduced that takes into account warm standby and mixed strategy, dynamics, type strategy in redundancy problems. A recursive formula first obtained function dynamic strategies leverages success mode analysis works any arbitrary f...

A new column generation decomposition algorithm is described and demonstrated to determine efficient solutions for the reliability-redundancy allocation problem. The problem is a well-known nonlinear mixed integer programming problem which involves the maximization of system reliability by simultaneously selecting component reliability levels and redundancy levels as part of systems engineering...

The multiobjective Ant Colony System (ACS) meta-heuristic has been developed successfully to provide a solution for the reliability optimization problems of series-parallel system and has been demonstrated its application to the reliability design of gear box. The problems involve the selection of components with multiple choice and redundancy levels that produce maximum benefits, and are subje...

optimization of maintenance resources to maximize the system availability is a major concern in different manufacturing systems. therefore, a lot of effort is put to construct optimization models to reach the maximum availability level and to reduce the costs of lack of availability. however, despite these efforts, data uncertainty in the real world problems was neglected in proposed models whi...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and simplified (SSO) are two of the state-of-the-art intelligence technique that is widely utilized for purposes. This paper describes a particle-based (PSSO) procedure which combines update mechanisms (UMs) PSO SSO to determine optimal system reliability reliability-redundancy allocation problems (RRAPs) with cold-standby strategy while aimed at maximizing rel...

In this paper, a tabu search for solving the redundancy allocation problem (RAP) in multi-states (different performance levels) series-parallel systems (MSPS) is proposed. The problem is modeled to find the optimal system configuration that minimizes the cost of the component selection and redundancy level under given minimum required system reliability constraints. The proposed solution method...
