Industrial Maintenance

Recommended Prerequisites

Applied Mechanics II, Probability and statistics.

Teaching Methods

The teaching time of the course is organized in theoretical-practical classes in order to allow an immediate application of knowledge. Theoretical-practical times are planned throughout the semester to allow students to have a lab session to apply vibration measurement to rotary machine fault diagnostics.

Learning Outcomes

- Knowledge and ability to apply the principles of maintenance management concerning the aspects: technical, economical, and staff;

 - Ability to apply reliability analysis of historical data to estimate the replacement or repair interval of components in systematic preventive maintenance programs;

 - Knowledge of tye more relevant techniques for analyzing and diagnosing the equipment condition in the scope of predictive maintenance;

 - Ability to develop predictive maintenance programs based on vibration analysis techniques;

- Knowledge of the lubricant properties 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.
