Summary

This paper lists all the known published work on the development of automatic selection of redundancy techniques over the past decade. The main interest is a selection technique based on an algebraic procedure. It is emphasised that such a technique is very flexible in its application and that the redundancy selection can be completely automatic, completely preselected but automatically imposed or a combination of the two. This enables previous experience to be applied. The criterion is given for optimum redundancy selection and items which influence this are discussed. It is pointed out that the basic and redundant load transformation matrices can be generated automatically for general configurations.
