Fault Injection Software Tools and Robust Design Principles for Reliability and Safety in Measurement Science Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the design of measurement systems we face the fact that parameters are subject to (measurement-) uncertainties. Additionally, components may behave entirely different from what is specified, which is then considered a fault. Consequently, both uncertainty as well as probability of failure should be considered in education on robust design and reliability. In this paper we present a teaching concept based on hardware fault injection using a simple level sensor system as an example. Learning objectives are faults, errors, failures, false alarms versus misses as well as advantages and disadvantages of redundancy.

متن کاملReliability-Based Robust Multi-Objective Optimization of Friction Stir Welding Lap Joint AA1100 Plates
The current paper presents a robust optimum design of friction stir welding (FSW) lap joint AA1100 aluminum alloy sheets using Monte Carlo simulation, NSGA-II and neural network. First, to find the relation between the inputs and outputs a perceptron neural network model was obtained. In this way, results of thirty friction stir welding tests are used for training and testing the neural network...
متن کاملAnalysing Software Fault Trees via a Key Node Metric
Complex software systems for business critical and safety critical applications require tools for business performance managers to use, especially in software systems in which failure leads to major economic failure or loss of life. The software engineering community stands to benefit from metrics, analysis tools, and techniques that address software system safety from a design perspective. The...
متن کاملAn Integrated Approach to Achieving High Software Reliability
In this paper we address the development, testing, and evaluation schemes for software reliability, and the integration of these schemes into a unified and consistent paradigm. Specifically, techniques and tools for the three phases of software reliability engineering will be described. The three phases are (1) modeling and analysis, (2) design and implementation, and (3) testing and measuremen...
متن کاملDesign and psychometric evaluation of measurement tools for Institutional research functions
Introduction: Universities in the path of survival, development, and excellence will inevitably be continually aligned with complex, ambiguous and turbulent environmental changes which will not be achieved by managing, planning, and deciding on scientific, research-based and accurate, up-to-date, and accurate information. The purpose of this study was to design and psychometric evaluation of me...
