abstract

in the new production systems, finding a way to improving the product and system reliability in design is a very important. the reliability of the products and systems may improve using different methods. one of this methods is redundancy allocation problem. in this problem by adding redundant component to sub-systems under some constraints, the reliability improved. in this paper we worked on a three objectives redundancy allocation problem. the objectives are maximizing system reliability and minimizing the system cost and weight. the structure of sub-systems are k-out-of-n and the components have constant failure rate. because this problem belongs to np. hard problems, we used nsga ii multi-objective meta-heuristic algorithm to solving the presented problem.

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...

Redundancy Allocation Problem of a System with Three-state Components: A Genetic Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)

The redundancy allocation is one of the most important and useful problems in system optimization, especially in electrical and mechanical systems. The object of this problem is to maximize system reliability or availability within a minimum operation cost. Many works have been proposed in this area so far to draw the problem near to real-world situations. While in classic models the system com...

an exact method for solving reliability redundancy allocation problem of k-out-of-n systems with a choice of redundancy strategy

one of the most important problems in the system reliability optimization is redundancy allocation problem that has been studied in different system configurations. k-out-of-n structure is a general system configuration and offers enhanced capabilities for analyzing more design problems. hence, in this paper, the redundancy allocation problem of k-out-of-n systems is studied. in the most previo...

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 redundancy allocation problem with the choice of redundancy strategies by a memetic algorithm

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 prior...
