Remarks (specific information about assessment, entry requirements, etc.):

Goals:

The student must be able to:

·     Explain the impact of different maintenance concepts on a ship's Life Cycle Costs.

·     Explain the difference between an fault tree and an event tree.

• Perform a fault and event tree analysis.
• Perform and interpret a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis.
• Calculate reliability and availability from simple failure rate distributions.
• Use and interpret Weibull distribution applied to failure rates.
• Explain several suitable techniques for conditions monitoring of diesel engines.
• Interpret condition monitoring concepts.
