A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm/Simulation Approach for Redundancy Optimization with Objective of Maximizing Mean Lifetime and Considering Component Selection

In this paper, we consider a reliability redundancy optimization problem in a series-parallel type system employing the redundancy strategy of cold-standby. The problem consists of two parts component selection and determination of redundancy level of each component—which need to be solved so that t...
