Optimum Component Design In N-Stange Series Systems To Maximize The Reliability Under Budget Constraint, Huseyin Gozebe Mar 2003

Optimum Component Design In N-Stange Series Systems To Maximize The Reliability Under Budget Constraint, Huseyin Gozebe

Theses and Dissertations

This research is intended to find a new heuristic for solving the reliability optimization of n-stage series system. The new heuristic will make the initial system design and use redundancy to improve system reliability level. The limited capacity of common optimization tools requires the new heuristic to be coded in VBA programming language. Moreover, the known reliability optimization heuristic, marginal analysis will be coded so that the difference between two heuristics can be seen and design engineers can use the best result in their applications.
