  • Abstract
    A procedure is presented for determining the optimum arrangements of components in a system under weight or reliability constraints. It is based on reliability improvement through the use of functional redundancy. The mathematical background is briefly presented. General steps of the procedure are logically deduced and then applied to the components of an aerospace system.
