Learn the methods of reliability analysis and reliability-driven design of mechanical and electronic systems.
The course is aimed at providing an engineering view (as opposed to a purely statistical view or a management view) of reliability analysis as well as reliable product design. The goal is to make the student familiar with both the statistical tools as well as the failure physics that enable one to model time to failure of products and to use such models during design phase to ensure reliable product designs.
What You Will Learn:
Probability rules and conditional probabilities
Expectation and variance of continuous functions and their manipulation
Failure rate modeling
Normal, lognormal, exponential, Weibull, binomial and Poisson distributions
Reliability, mean time to failure and availability
Data fitting and reliability estimation
Multimodal distributions and mixed multiple failure mechanisms
Reliability block diagrams
Monte Carlo simulation
Load-strength interference and probabilistic design
First-order reliability methods
Accelerated tests and acceleration factors
Time to failure modeling for selected failure mechanisms in mechanical and electronic systems
