Course Objectives
|
The new course aims to cover basic principles as well as practical aspects of Reliability Based Design applied to the Mechanical/Structural domain. The course will cover both the analytical techniques as well as the numerical methods used in Reliability Based Design. By the end of the course, they should be able to apply the RBD fundamentals to problems with explicit as well as implicit performance functions.
