• Educate the students in reliability evaluation of various configuration.
• Impart knowledge in reliability monitoring methods.
• Analyze effectively various techniques to improve reliability of the system.
UNIT I RELIABILITY CONCEPT
Reliability definition –, Reliability parameters- f(t), F(t,) and R(t) functions- Measures of central tendency Bathbub curve – A priori and posterior probabilities of failure – Component mortality – Useful life.
UNIT II LIFE DATA ANALYSIS
Data classification – Non parametric methods: Ungrouped, Grouped, Complete, Censored data – Time to failure distributions – Survival graphs – Probability plotting: Exponential, Weibull – Goodness of fit tests – -Bartlett’s test, KS test, chi-square test.
UNIT III RELIABILITY ESTIMATION
Series parallel configurations – Parallel redundancy – m/n system – Complex systems: RBD approach – Baye’s method – Minimal path and cut sets – Fault Tree analysis – Standby system.
UNIT IV RELIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Reliability testing: Failure terminated test – Time terminated test – Upper and lower MTBFs – Sequential Testing – Reliability growth monitoring – Reliability allocation.
UNIT V RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT
Analysis of downtime – Repair time distribution – Maintainability prediction – Measures of maintainability – Availability definitions – System Availability – Replacement decisions – Economic life.
