Description
Dependability is the science of failures. It focuses on predicting, measuring and, more broadly, controlling them. In this course, the approach and the quantitative aspects of FS are taught.
Objectives
Implement an operational safety approach and be able to quantify it through its components.
Necessary pre-requisites
Probability and statistical calculations
Recommended prerequisites*:
Knowledge of system reliability
Knowledge control
A final exam
Syllabus
- Approach and definition of the Safety of Operation (SdF)
- Definition and analysis of the 4 components of the SoTL: Reliability, maintainability, availability and safety.
- Quantitative approach to SoTL:
- Reliability analysis and calculation
- Maintainability analysis and calculation: Maintainability function, associated repair rate, repair time distribution, MTTR...
- Analysis and calculation of availability (intrinsic, operational); composition of availability
- Markov chains
- SoTL costs
