Reliability Engineering JEE489
Introduction
In this unit students learn to apply theories of reliability engineering to the analysis, interpretation and evaluation of common components with respect to the design, operation and maintenance stages of asset life cycle. The unit provides an introduction to the concepts of reliability engineering including time-dependent failure mechanism, physics-of-failure mechanism, reliability measures and assessment for components and complex systems, maintainability and availability analysis. The unit includes case studies of failure modelling, reliability assessment and risk analysis from systems and operations within the process, offshore oil and gas and renewable energy industries. Students can employ the obtained technical knowledge about systems engineering and reliability-based design and maintenance to their research project. The methods and techniques delivered in this unit will be also employed in various areas of the maritime, offshore oil and gas and process industries including asset management, operation and maintenance optimisation and risk management.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
