ENRE 600 - Reliability
Engineering (3 sem. hrs)
Organization, management, and communication
concepts in Reliability Engineering are discussed. Modern systems involve
hardware, humans and software. These three sub-systems possess different
failure modes and mechanisms of failure. Additional failure modes exist
due to the presence of interactions between the different sub-systems. An
overview of the complex systems, their failure modes and failure
mechanisms, will be given in this course. Methods of failure rate
determination are presented. In addition, maintainability engineering
concepts are covered. Concepts of designing for reliability and designing
for maintainability are presented. Lifecycle costing and equipment sparing
policies are described. Measures of reliability which allow improvement
assessment are discussed.
