Maximizing System Reliability of a Four Stage RAP with Two Chance Constraints Having Stochastic Reliability Components

“…Almost in all in the techniques available for reliability optimization, the assumption on uncertainty is based on precise probabilities and the reliabilities of system components are to be known and fixed positive numbers which lying in the interval [0, 1] and well discussed in [4], [8], [15], [16], [17], [22], [23], [24], [31], [32], [33]. The precise system reliability can be computed theoretically if both the above-mentioned conditions are satisfied.…”
