Description Section 3 Content Section 3 Content Left Section 3 Content Right Objective: The course objective is to provide a comprehensive treatment of the primary probabilistic and statistical methods used in reliability engineering, including the situation when the response is Pass/Fail (binary) in nature as well as when time-to-failure applies. Learning Outcomes: Create, design and use various types of reliability block diagrams (RBDs), for example, series, parallel, partial redundancy, shared load, and time-dependent models Create, by at least two procedures, a lower confidence bound on reliability, given the total number of items tested and the number of failures observed Estimate the accuracy of the approximate methods and discuss their limitations, given either the reliability function or the probability function for time to failure for a device or system Analyze RBDs for reliability and mean time to failure Generate the hazard rate function and assess its behavior versus a reliability target, goal or requirement Apply the Monte Carlo simulation method to estimate reliability for a complex system for both the static and the time-to-failure case Compute key reliability measures and estimates and use these to evaluate alternative designs General Topics: System reliability, failure density functions, hazard functions, analysis of Pass/Fail test data, Monte Carlo simulation of reliability problems, quantitative failure analysis, and failure modes, effects and criticality analysis Instruction & Assessment Section 4 Content Section 4 Content Left Section 4 Content Right Instructional Strategies: Case Studies Classroom Exercise Computer Based Training Discussion Lectures Practical Exercises Supplemental Materials Section 5 Content Section 5 Content Left Section 5 Content Right Section 6 Content Section 6 Content Left Section 6 Content Right Button Content Rail Content 1 Page Content
