In this paper, we present a practical approach for the joint reliability–redundancy optimization of multistate series–parallel systems. In addition to determining the optimal redundancy level for each parallel subsystem, this approach also aims at finding the optimal values for the variables that affect the component state distributions in each subsystem. The key point is that technical and org...

The number of joints and muscles in a human arm is more than what is required for reaching to a desired point in 3D space. Although previous studies have emphasized how such redundancy and the associated flexibility may play an important role in path planning, control of noise, and optimization of motion, whether and how redundancy might promote motor learning has not been investigated. In this...

We present second-order value numbering, a new optimization method for suppressing redundancy, in a version tailored to the application for optimizing the decision procedure of jMosel, a verification tool set for monadic second-order logic on strings (M2L(Str)). The method extends the well-known concept of value numbering to consider not merely values, but semantics transformers that can be eff...

This paper addresses the issue of optimal redundancy allocation in hybrid structure large binary systems. Two aspects optimization are considered: (1) maximizing reliability system under cost constraint, and (2) obtaining necessary at a minimum cost. The complex considered this work is composed many subsystems with redundant structure. To cover most cases encountered practice, following kinds a...

Ab3tractGlobally optimal redundancy resolution in robot manipulators has been at t racted research interests and investigated with eager. Some researchers have attacked t h e redundancy resolution with optimization techniques and others with Pontryagin's principle. In this paper, as an another approach w e propose the optimal kinematic control. The formulation is: first to convert the redundanc...

In this paper, we have considered a series-parallel system to find out optimum system reliability with an additional entropy objective function. Maximum system reliability of series-parallel system is depending on proper allocation of redundancy component in different stage. The goal of entropy based reliability redundancy allocation problem is to find optimal number of redundancy component in ...
