چکیده
Redundancy optimization problem with cost constraints is a typical problem in reliability engineering. This study investigates standby redundancy optimization problem with uncertain lifetimes and uncertain costs. Three models for optimizing different performances of a standby system are formulated. In these models, maximizing the reliability measure, maximizing the system lifetime and minimizing the total cost with some constraints are considered as the goals. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the models.

Standby Redundancy Optimization with Uncertain Lifetimes
Uncertain variable is defined as a measurable function from an uncertainty space to the set of real numbers for describing subjective uncertain phenomena, which is employed to characterize the element, component and system lifetimes in this paper. Within the framework of uncertainty theory, reliability measure and percentile lifetime are defined to measure the system reliability in this paper. ...
متن کاملCold 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 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 کاملCoordination of green supply chain network, considering uncertain demand and stochastic CO2 emission level
Many supply chain problems involve optimization of various conflicting objectives. This paper formulates a green supply chain network throughout a two-stage mixed integer linear problem with uncertain demand and stochastic environmental respects level. The first objective function of the proposed model considers minimization of supply chain costs while the second objective function minimizes CO...
