Course detail

Technical Diagnostics II

FSI-XT2-KAcad. year: 2025/2026

The subject is focused on the most sophisticated knowledge in technical diagnostics of machines and instrumentation. It builds on the facts mentioned earlier in those subjects who are focused on the diagnostics and this subject develops them. Attention is mainly devoted on the problems of vibrodiagnostics, noise diagnostics, radiography diagnostics, tribodiagnostics, electrical diagnostics and remote machine diagnostics. The meaning and the application of multi-parametric diagnostics are shown. By completing this course and subject Technical Diagnostics I, eventually the subject of Basics of Technical Diagnostics, students will acquire comprehensive knowledge of technical diagnostics of machines and equipment. The findings are also based on the content of the Industry 4.0 initiative and Maintenance 4.0.

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of mathematics and physics at a level of university study. Also, the knowledge of the aforementioned special field in a scope of the previous bachelor study as well as Technical Diagnostics I subject is expected.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The course consists of exercises and lectures. Exercise is completed by credit (awarded in the 13th week). To obtain it is required 100% participation in exercises and activity in exercises. Students will work out the individual work in the prescribed range and quality. Based on the quality of the work in the exercise, the student earns up to 30 points for the exam The work must be submitted in writing and checked and recognized by the teacher. The test is realized by written test, student can get up to 70 points from this test, where 30 points from exercises. Evaluation of the test result is given by the ECTS grading scale.
The student attendance is checked in tutorials (presence and activity). The 100% participation in tutorials is required, and in case of absence, the student will be obliged to compensate, the alternative attendance will be specified by the lecturer.

Aims

The objective of the subject is to acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge of the diagnostics of technical systems. The subject continues in Technical Diagnostics I.
A student acquires comprehensive and complex knowledge of the diagnostics of technical systems which can apply in industrial mechanical/electrical engineering practice to solve different problems related to the aforementioned topics.
