Summary
This class introduces the students to the basics of diagnostics and applied reliability in the areas of vibro, thermo, tribo and electro diagnostics. The final part of this class is focused on revision of electrical devices.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
After passing this class student is able to: define the basic ideas from the area of diagnostics, explain individual diagnostic methods, apply these methods in practice, can get oriented in localization of failures, can calculate and measure the diagnostic parameters, can interpret findings and is able to demonstrate technical thinking and creative attitude in dealing with new problems.
