Optimal Allocation Of Resources In Reliability Growth, Mohammadhossein Heydari
Optimal Allocation Of Resources In Reliability Growth, Mohammadhossein Heydari
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Reliability growth testing seeks to identify and remove failure modes in order to improve system reliability. This dissertation centers around the resource allocation across the components of a multi-component system to maximize system reliability. We summarize this dissertation’s contributions to optimal resource allocation in reliability growth.
Chapter 2 seeks to deploy limited testing resources across the components of a series-parallel system in effort to maximize system reliability under the assumption that each component’s reliability exhibits growth according to an AMSAA model with known parameters. An optimization model for this problem is developed and then extended to consider the allocation of …
