Abstract: Using meta-heuristic approaches to solve reliability and redundancy allocation problems (RRAP) has become attractive for researchers in recent years. In this paper, an optimization model is presented to maximize system reliability and minimize system cost simultaneously for multi-state weighted k-out-of-n systems. The model tends to optimize system... Show More

Abstract: Many studies have been done on the biological human ankle and prosthesis replaced with this limb. Although some of these works targeted to design a prosthesis which mimics the behavior of biological ankle, additional system is required to support the elastic components; any of them have obviously introduced an active system in designing ankle prost...
