Course contents:

The course is focused on the issues of measurement (metrology), sensors and technical diagnostics. The importance of these individual scientific areas is explained and their connection and importance for current industrial practice is emphasized. The teaching of the subject is consistently based on the latest current modern knowledge.First, attention is focused on metrology, then sensors and methods for measuring physical quantities. This is extensively elaborated and justified in the lectures. Emphasis is also placed on signal analysis, causes of technical equipment failures, defects and damage, as well as non-destructive testing (NDT) and especially technical diagnostics. From technical diagnostics, the student will get acquainted in some detail with vibrodiagnostics, electrodiagnostics, thermodiagnostics, noise diagnostics, acoustic emission and ultrasound. Other methods of technical diagnostics are also presented and described, such as tribodiagnostics, assembly and optical measurements, multiparametric diagnostics, etc. The student will get acquainted with the approaches in technical diagnostics that are used in today's industry to assess the condition of technical equipment. Today, modern approaches based on remote monitoring, online system administration, evaluation of measured data, visualization, application of artificial intelligence, etc. are also developed and presented in the teaching. The reliability of elements and systems is also discussed in detail and considerable space is devoted to maintenance issues with a focus on modern approaches. The details of the course are elaborated in the way of teaching lectures and laboratory exercises.
