AETV-4104: Aircraft Reliability & Fault Diagnosis

Description
The aim of this module is to enable students to analyse and predict the reliability characteristics of engineering systems by using reliability analysis techniques, and to integrate the reliability concept into the failure analysis, maintenance management and maintenance practice for engineering systems. The module will concentrate on the reliability issues in maintenance activities and build up the concept of reliability centered aircraft maintenance. It will enable students to develop an understanding and knowledge of maintenance theories and concepts used to identify critical failure modes, recognise critical systems or components, plan schedules, resources and monitoring techniques to ensure minimum failure effects. It will also enable students to understand and evaluate methods of cost-effective maintenance strategies.
