Availability Optimization of a Series Repairable System with Multiple k-out-of-n Subsystems
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
An availability model is developed to optimize the availability of a series repairable system with multiple k-out-of-n subsystems in this paper. There are two types of decision variables that determine the system designer’s decision to allocate the number of repairmen and to allocate the number of redundant components in each subsystem in the presence of weight, volume and cost constraints. As per the nonlinear structure of the objective in the model, the model is located into the nonlinear programming category. A classical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to solve seven various instances of the model. The aim of this study is to illustrate the model and to propose an applicable algorithm for the problem. The efficiency of the proposed PSO is illustrated by comparison with Simulated Annealing (SA) method.

Availability Optimization of A Series Repairable System with Multiple k-out-of-n Subsystems
We address the redundancy allocation of a series repairable system with multiple k-out-of-n subsystems with each subsystem following shut-off rule. The objective of the problem is to find the optimal number of repairmen and redundant components in each subsystem for optimization of steady-state availability subject to weight, cost and volume constraints. We propose a Particle Swarm Optimization...
متن کاملAvailability of k-out-of-n: F Secondary Subsystem with General Repair Time Distribution
In this paper we study the steady state availability of main k-out-of-n: F and secondary subsystems having general repair time distribution. When more than k units of main subsystem fail, then the main subsystem shuts off the secondary subsystem. The life time distributions of the main units and that of secondary subsystem are exponentially distributed. A repair facility having single repairman...
متن کاملAvailability Equivalence Analysis of a Repairable Series-Parallel System
This paper studies the availability equivalence of different designs of a repairable series-parallel system. Under the assumption that the system components have constant failure rates and repair rates, we derive the availability of the original and improved systems according to reduction, increase, hot duplication, warm duplication and cold duplication methods, respectively. The availability e...
متن کاملAvailability Analysis and Design Optimization for a Repairable Series-parallel System with Failure Dependencies
In this paper, the design of a repairable series-parallel system with failure dependencies is studied. The key point is that failure dependency and limited repair teams can affect the state transition rates of each subsystem, and thus affect the state distribution of the subsystem and the availability of the system. Taking this into consideration, we present a dependence function to determine t...
متن کاملAvailability Equivalence Factors of a General Repairable Parallel-Series System
The availability equivalence factors of a general repairable parallel-series system are discussed in this paper considering the availability function of the system. The system components are assumed to be repairable and independent but not identical. The life and repair times of the system components are exponentially distributed with different parameters. Two types of availability equivalent f...
