Reliability Engineering Syllabus for B.Tech 8th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Reliability Engineering B.Tech (R13) eighthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To stress the importance of reliability in Engineering and products also the concept of maintability, failure modes and testing methods.
UNIT I : CONCEPTS OF RELIABILITY, SYSTEM AND MODELS [12 Hours]
Definition of reliability – reliability Vs quality-reliability function-MTTF – hazard rate function- bathtub curve – derivation of the reliability function-constant failure rate model – time dependent failure models. Weibull distribution – normal distribution – the lognormal distribution. Serial configuration – parallel configuration – combined series parallel systems – system structure function, minimal cuts and minimal paths – Markov analysis – load sharing systems, standby system, degraded systems, three state devices – covariate models, static models, dynamic models, physics of failure models.
UNIT II : DESIGN FOR RELIABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY [12 Hours]
Reliability design process – system effectiveness – economic analysis and life cycle cost – reliability allocation – optimal, Arinc, Agree, – Design methods – parts and material selection, derating, stress- strength analysis – failure analysis – identification of failure mode – determination of causes –assessment of effects – classification of seventy – computation of critically index – corrective action – system safety and FTA. Analysis of downtime – the repair time distribution – stochastic point processes – system repair time – reliability under preventive maintenance – state dependent systems with repair – MTTR-mean system downtime – MTR – MH/OH – cost model – fault isolation and self diagnostics – repair Vs replacement – replacement model – proactive, preventive, predictive
maintenance – maintenance and spares provisioning – maintainability prediction and demonstration – concepts and definition of availability.
UNIT III : OPTIMIZATION OF SYSTEM RELIABILITY [7 Hours]
Optimization techniques for system reliability with redundancy – heuristic methods applied to optimal system reliability- redundancy allocation by dynamic programming – reliability optimization by non linear programming.
[TOTAL: 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES
- The Student must apply and optimize reliability for time independent and time dependent failure models through various testing methods for various manufacturing amnesty process
