Abstract

There are two main objectives for this paper : (1) we will propose a more general class of consecutive-component systems which generalizes both the typical consecutive-k-out-of-n:F systems and two-dimensional consecutive-k- out-of-n:F systems, (2) we will propose an immune algorithm to investigate the optimal maintenance policy for the proposed consecutive-component systems. Numerical results are reported and compared with those of implicit enumeration.
