Content and teaching methods

Reliability is a study case of probabilities, which allows one to assess availability (or not) of a set-up whish could be plagued by random failures.
This course provides an introduction to this discipline whose industrial impact is ever increasing, in the nuclear, aeronautical, computer science, chemical… fields. The aim of this course is to allow students to master the basics and be able to apply methodologies (at an elementary level) pertaining to probabilistic risk analysis.
The main topics are:
- Probability concepts for failures
-Failure data processing
-Reliability of simple systems, with repairs
- Event and failure trees
- Methodology of probabilistic risk analysis
