Course detail

Reliability and Diagnostics

FSI-FSDAcad. year: 2007/2008

The course is concerned with problems of reliability and technical diagnostics in mechanical and automatic application. First part presents reliability problems, their parameters, reliability of components and systems, backup and basics of maintenance. In second part students are acquainted with basic methods and instrumentation of technical non- removal diagnostics utilizing in this branch. In brief students learn of individual diagnostics branches, condition monitoring systems and development trends in diagnostics.
