A Simulation-based Multi-level Redundancy Allocation for a Multi-level System

摘要

In this paper, we deal with a multi-level redundancy allocation problem for a multi-level system and system, modules and component levels in the system are simultaneously considered as candidates for redundancy. System avalability and life cycle cost are used as the constrant and objective function, respectively, and are estimated algorithm is used to determine best solutions, and numerical examples are studied in order to compare module redundancy with component redundancy.
