Optimal Reliability Design, first published in 2000, provides a
detailed introduction to systems reliability and reliability
optimization. Techniques for maximizing system reliability are
described, focusing on component reliability enhancement and
redundancy arrangement. The authors present several case studies
and show how optimization techniques are applied in practice. They
also pay particular attention to finding methods that give the
optimal trade-off between reliability and cost. The book begins
with a review of key background material, and a discussion of a
range of optimization models. The authors go on to cover
optimization tools, such as heuristics, discrete optimization,
nonlinear programming, mixed integer programming, optimal
arrangement, and metaheuristic algorithms. They also describe the
computational implementation of these tools. Many numerical
examples are included, and the book contains over 180 homework
exercises. It is suitable as a textbook for graduate-level courses
in reliability engineering and operations research. It will also be
a valuable reference for practising engineers.
