This course is the specialization course in reliability, availability, maintenance and safety (RAMS) in the last fall semester of the (2 year) international master program in RAMS and the (5 year) master program in Mechanical Engineering (in Norwegian: Produktdesign og Produksjon - PUP). The course introduces some new methods, and makes a more thorough presentation of methods introduced in previous RAMS-related courses.
- Lecturer: Mary Ann Lundteigen
- The first lecture will be held on Tuesday August 19th 8:15-11:00 in VG13
- The lecture plan for the entire semester is found here
Two examples: - Consider a wind turbine: We want this system to be reliable, meaning that it generates the power according to the turbine's operating profile. To ensure that the costs of producing power is sufficiently low, it is necessary to find more cost-efficient wind turbine designs and more cost-efficient ways of operating and maintaining them. This course aims to give you knowledge and competence in RAMS tools and methods help you to solve such tasks.
- Consider an instrumented pressure protection system installed in a subsea pipeline that is tied into a topside facility. The system is used to protect the pipeline from over-pressuring upon certain events, such as a downstream blockage. A failure of this instrumented pressure protection system may result in a pipe burst. If the pipe bursts close to the platform, it may eventually create a gas cloud nearby with the potential of escalating into an explosion and fire. If the pipeline bursts on the seabed, it may damage the sea environment. This course aims to give you a set of tools that are needed to define how reliable such safety-systems must be, how they should be designed to meet the reliability requirements, and how the reliability performance may be traced in operation.
