Abstract
The goal of this paper is to introduce an application of hybrid algorithm in reliability optimization problems for a series system with parallel redundancy and multiple choice constraints to maximize the system reliability subject to system budget and also to minimize the system cost subject to minimum level of system reliability. Both the problems are solved by using penalty function technique for dealing with the constraints and hybrid algorithm. In this algorithm, the well-known real coded Genetic Algorithm is combined with Self-Organizing Migrating Algorithm. As special cases, both the problems are formulated and solved considering single component without redundancy. Finally, the proposed approach is illustrated by some numerical examples and the computational results are discussed.
