Solving reliability redundancy allocation problem in using genetic algorithm

Reliability is a critical subject in engineering field. Increasing system’s reliability is one of the challenging parts of engineering. There are several structures for reliability’s model and one of them is k-out-of-n. Redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is a method to improve system reliability. I...
