Course detail

Sensorics, Measurment and Industrial Diagnostics

FSI-VMDAcad. year: 2021/2022

The course is focused on the issues of technical diagnostics, sensors and measurements. The importance of these individual scientific areas is explained and their connection and importance for current industrial practice is emphasized. The teaching of the subject is consistently based on the latest current modern views on sensors, measurement and technical diagnostics.
First, attention is focused on technical metrology, then sensors and methods of measuring physical quantities. This is extensively elaborated and justified in the lectures. Emphasis is also placed on signal analysis, causes of failures of technical equipment and technical diagnostics. From the technical diagnostics, the student will get acquainted in some detail with vibrodiagnostics, electrodiagnostics, thermodiagnostics, noise diagnostics, acoustic emission and ultrasound. Other methods of technical diagnostics are also presented and solved, such as tribodiagnostics, assembly and optical measurements, etc. The student will thus get acquainted with the approaches in technical diagnostics, which are used in today's industry to assess the condition of technical equipment. Today, modern approaches based on remote monitoring, online system management, evaluation of measured data, visualization, etc. are also developed and presented in the course. The course also discusses in detail the reliability of elements and systems and a lot of space is devoted to maintenance to modern approaches.
The details of the course are elaborated in the way of teaching lectures and laboratory exercises.

Aims

Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge in the field of sensorics, measurement and technical diagnostics. These areas of science are important today to understand the problems in technical practice. The aim is also to become familiar with the maintenance of technical equipment, because it can significantly affect the economy of the company. The operability of technical equipment is also associated with an important area, namely reliability. Thus, the aim of the course is to understand the basic facts of reliability.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Controlled participation in lessons: Controlled participation in lessons: 100% attendance at seminars is required. In case of absence, the student is obliged to compensate the lessons.

Recommended optional programme components

If possible, it is possible to supplement the teaching of excursions to selected industrial companies or a lecture by invited experts from practice.

Prerequisites and corequisites

Not applicable.
