Minimum cost component test plans for evaluating reliability of a highly reliable parallel system
针对高可靠并联系统，研究如何设计最小成本的元件测试方案来评估系统可靠性，通过数学规划求解两种决策规则下的优化问题，为工程师节省测试时间和成本。
One approach to evaluating system reliability is the use of system based component test plans. Such plans have numerous advantages over complete system level tests, primarily in terms of time and cost savings. This paper considers one of the two basic building blocks of many complex systems, namely a system of n parallel components, and develops minimum cost component test plans for evaluating the reliability of such a system when the component reliabilities are known to be high. Two different decision rules are considered and the corresponding optimization problems are formulated and solved using techniques from mathematical programming. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
