Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Purpose
The purpose of the project unit is to contribute to students’ attainment of knowledge about fault detection, diagnosis and relevant reliability analysis of engineering systems 

Content
The project is based on a problem to monitor a process system, which can be a chemical process, mechanical system, or any other safety-critical systems. The reliability of the considered system as well as individual components should be analyzed and assessed using the probabilistic methods. The strategies and methods for Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) should be determined for the considered system by taking some intelligent methods into consideration. The chosen FDD solution has to be implemented on a real-time platform and tested, either by the computer simulations or a dedicated hardware        

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge and comprehension for how to design, analyze and model different fault diagnosis systems for different typical engineering systems
• Have knowledge and comprehension of fundamental reliability analysis and modelling

Skills

• Be able to apply probabilistic methods for reliability modelling, analysis and assessment.
• Be able to apply different fault diagnosis methods for developing monitoring and surveillance system.
• Be able to verify the analytical and numerical approaches either by means of laboratory experiments or simulation study

Competences

• Be able to control the working and development process within the project theme, and be able to develop new solutions within monitoring and surveillance system.
• Independently be able to define and analyze monitoring/diagnosis problems from the reliability point of view, and based on that make and state the reasons for decisions made for method selection.
• Independently be able to continue own development in competences and specialization
