Description
Dependability (SDF) is the science of failures. It is committed to predicting, measuring and, more broadly, controlling them. In this course, the approach and quantitative aspects of the SdF are taught.
Objectives
Implement an Operational Safety approach and be able to quantify its components.
Necessary prerequisites
Probability and statistical calculations
Recommended prerequisites* :
Knowledge of system reliability
Knowledge control
A final examination
Syllabus
- Safe operation approach and definition
- Definition and analysis of the 4 components of SoF: Reliability, Maintainability, Availability and Safety.
- Quantitative approach to SoF :
- Reliability analysis and calculation
- Maintainability analysis and calculation: Maintainability function, associated repair rate, repair time distribution, MTTR, etc.
- Analysis and calculation of availability (intrinsic, operational); composition of availabilities
- Markov chains
- SoFt costs
