Maintenance

Recommended Prerequisites

Statistics, Machine elements

Teaching Methods

Classes take place in theoretical and practical scheme in which theoretical concepts are presented and applied immediately.

Schedule of maintenance curse include the following classes:

Theoretical classes: 15h

Theoretical-practical classes: 25h

Laboratory classes: 5h

Learning Outcomes

The unit maintenance wants to allow:

 - Knowledge of principles of management and maintenance aspects: technical, economical, and effective documentation;

 - Ability to apply reliability analysis to historical data to estimate periods of components replacement in systematic preventive maintenance programs;

 - Knowledge of techniques for analyzing and diagnosing the condition more relevant for predictive maintenance;

 - Ability to develop predictive maintenance programs by application of vibration analysis techniques;

- Knowledge of the lubricant properties of and the main lubricant analytical methods relevant to the maintenance

The aim is the development of instrumental skills (Competence in organizing and planning; ability to solve problems), personal (Skills in interpersonal relationships and critical thinking) and systemic (apply in practice the theoretical knowledge and adaptability to new situations).
