stage number = i | There are 30 stages (panel locations). |
decision variables = ti | Thickness for panel i |
state variable at stage i = si | Overall reliability ( ) required for the remaining stages i, i + 1, …, 30 presenting restrictions on future decisions |
return function at stage i = g(si, ti) | Weight of panel i for a fixed remaining reliability si and thickness for this si |
