Abstract | This paper deals with a redundancy allocation optimization problem (RAOP) for multi-indenture systems under common cause failures (CCF). A beta factor model for CCF is applied to predict the system reliability in multiindenture systems. A genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal redundant objects and redundant numbers to maximize the system reliability under a design cost constraint. The sensitive analysis is performed to investigate the effect of model parameters on the objective function and the optimal solutions. The effects of CCF on the system reliability between module-level redundancy and component-level redundancy are compared in numerical examples.
