Standby Redundancy Optimization with Type-2 Fuzzy Lifetimes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Under the given system weight constraint, we consider the problem of maximizing the system lifetime and minimizing the system cost. The lifetimes of components in the system are characterized by type-2 fuzzy variables. The numbers of redundant elements of each components are the decision variables. We use the reduction methods to reduce the type-2 fuzzy lifetimes. Then, we propose a goal programming model for this system. We suggest an approximation approach (AA) to the reliability and design an AA-based particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to solve the fuzzy model.

Fuzzy Reliability Optimization Models for Redundant Systems
In this paper, a special class of redundancy optimization problem with fuzzy random variables is presented. In this model, fuzzy random lifetimes are considered as basic parameters and the Er-expected of system lifetime is used as a major type of system performance. Then a redundancy optimization problem is formulated as a binary integer programming model. Furthermore, illustrative numerical ex...

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 ...
