NPTEL

 width=This course covers the comprehensive understanding of failure analysis and prevention in various systems. It starts with the exploration of fundamental sources of failure such as poor assembly, service conditions, and maintenance. For instance, it discusses a case study of a boiler tube failure due to poor maintenance strategy. The course then delves into the importance of metallurgical analysis and the use of industrial engineering tools like the Pareto diagram, Fishbone diagram, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) for systematic failure analysis. It further explains the concept of failure tendency estimation and the use of reliability principles for failure prediction. The course concludes with a detailed explanation of the application of these tools, providing illustrative examples like applying FMEA in a front seat belt installation scenario or developing a fault tree diagram for a car failure.
