The students will obtain complex overview of problems associated with providing the dependability in the case of complex technical systems, especially vehicles and machines. They acquire basic knowledge from dependability theory and learn to model dependability of items and systems and carry out basic dependability analyses of systems with usage of methods reliability block diagrams (RBD), failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and fault tree analysis (FTA). They also learn to understand the problems related to maintenance, evaluate information obtained from service or dependability testing and carryout basic analyses of life cycle costs.

The student is expected to have basic knowledge from field of probability and statistics. The student is expected to have basic knowledge from fields of design in mechanical or electrical engineering.

Not applicable.

Teaching is carried out through lectures and seminars. Lectures consist of interpretations of basic principles, methodology of given discipline, problems and their exemplary solutions. Seminars particularly support practical mastery of subject matter presented in lectures or assigned for individual study with the active participation of students.

Assessment methods and criteria follow the articles 10 to 13 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Course-unit credits terms: Knowledge of principles and interdependence of presented problems and practical ability to apply individual methods and procedures. Basic conditions are participation at seminars and individual elaboration of assigned project without major mistakes.
Examination: Knowledge of theoretical basis of dependability and techniques for dependability assurance in the case of vehicles and machines is tested during the examination. Abilityofpracticalusageoftheoreticalknowledgeistestedatpracticaltasks. Examination consists of a written and oral part.

The objective of the course is to give students basic information on modern approaches and methods of dependability assurance for complex technical systems and especially for vehicles and machines. The subject assignment is the explanation of dependability theory principles and presentation of basic techniques of dependability engineering for development, design, tests, operation and maintenance.

Attendance in seminars is obligatory, checked by a teacher. The way of compensation of absence is solved individually with a course supervisor.
