چکیده

this paper proposes an efficient algorithm based on memetic algorithm (ma) for a redundancy allocation problem without component mixing (rapcm) in a series-parallel system when the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. majority of the solution methods for the general rapcm assume that the type of a redundancy strategy for each subsystem is pre-determined and known a priori. in general, active redundancy has traditionally received greater attention; however, in practice both active and cold-standby redundancies may be used within a particular system design. the choice of the redundancy strategy then becomes an additional decision variable. thus, the problem is to select the best redundancy strategy, component and redundancy level for each subsystem in order to maximize the system reliability under system-level constraints. due to its complexity and np-hardness, it is so difficult to optimally solve such a problem by using traditional optimization tools. to validate the performance of the proposed ma in terms of solution quality, a number of test problems are examined and the robustness of this algorithm is then discussed. finally, the related results are reported and it is shown that the proposed ma performs well.

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...

A 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...

A 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 ...

A Memetic Algorithm For Multi-level Redundancy Allocation Problem

Redundancy allocation problems (RAPs) have attracted much attention for the past thirty years due to its wide applications in improving the reliability of various engineering systems. Since RAP is an NP-hard problem and exact methods are only applicable to small instances, various heuristic and meta-heuristic methods have been proposed to solve it. In the literature, most studies on RAPs have b...
