The book is directed to graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the areas of system reliability, availability, maintainability and Safety (RAMS), and it is intended to provide an overview of the state of knowledge of and tools for reliability assessment and system optimization. It is organized in three parts to introduce fundamentals, and illustrate methods and applications.
The first part reviews the concepts, definitions and metrics of reliability assessment and the formulations of different types of reliability optimization problems depending on the nature of the decision variables and considering redundancy allocation and maintenance and testing policies. Plenty of numerical examples are provided to accompany the understanding of the theoretical concepts and methods.
The second part covers multi-state system (MSS) modeling and reliability evaluation, Markov processes, Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), and uncertainty treatment under poor knowledge. The reviewed methods range from piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) to belief functions.
The third part of the book is devoted to system reliability optimization. In general terms, system reliability optimization involves defining the decision variables, the constraints and the single or multiple objective functions that describe the system reliability performance and involves searching for the combination of values of the decision variables that realize the target values the objective functions. Different formulations and methods are described with precise mathematical details and illustrative numerical examples, covering mathematical programming, evolutionary algorithms, multi-objective optimization (MOO) and optimization under uncertainty, including robust optimization (RO).
Applications of the assessment and optimization methods to real-world cases are also given, concerning for example the reliability of renewable energy systems. From this point of view, the book bridges the gap between theoretical development and engineering practice.
