Abstract

The Lagrange multiplier method has been used employing several analytical cost-reliability curves to solve the problem of optimal reliability allocation for a series system subject to a single cost constraint. It is found that some cost curves yield simple and straightforward exact computation, while other cost curves are relatively difficult for computational purposes.
