Lecturer:

David Bušek, Karel Dušek, Ivan Kudláček

Tutor:

David Bušek, Karel Dušek, Ivan Kudláček

Supervisor:

Department of Electrotechnology

Synopsis:

The course familiarizes students with the basic processes of degradation, which is exposed to the electrical product in a production environment.

The student will apply this knowledge to a specific product for a model operating environment. The student should try to verify the dominant degradation process of the product in the laboratory or perform its computer simulation.

Attention is also paid to environmental aspects associated with the choice of materials (technology) that are able to limit the degradation process.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Operating environment of el. equipment

2. Basics of the theory of reliability and durability of el. equipment

3. Degradation effect of the operating environment

4. Thermo-oxidative ageing of the material

5. Corrosion degradation

6. Photochemical degradation

7. Dust-induced degradation

8. Moisture degradation

9. Degradation induced by mechanical stress

10. Computer simulation of degradation processes

11. El. equipment in a difficult operating environment

12. Ecological aspects of using selected materials for a difficult environment

13. The methodology of life and reliability tests

14. Methodology of climatic and mechanical resistance tests
