ACTIVE REDUNDANCY ALLOCATION FOR COHERENT SYSTEMS WITH INDEPENDENT AND HETEROGENEOUS COMPONENTS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2018
Abstract
This paper studies the allocation of active redundancies to coherent systems on the context that the base and redundancy components have mutual independent lifetimes. For systems with two symmetric components and systems with one component's minimal cut sets (minimal path sets) covering those of another, we derive sufficient conditions to compare the resultant system lifetimes. Some numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
