Fault Reports Samples For Students

Fault-tolerance is the characteristic that allows a system to enhance operation in case of failure of some of the components of a system. If its functioning quality reduces at all, the decline is relative to the extent of the malfunction, as compared to a poorly-designed system in which can lead to a minor failure can lead to full breakdown. An outstanding example of fault tolerance mechanisms is the digital computer systems. There are various characteristics that determine how systems fail and the appropriate fault tolerance mechanisms. One of the elements indicate that the system should be digital. The second trait is that digital ...

1.1 Introduction
In typical industrial applications, the machines and equipment involved require high electrical ratings, like high voltages and high currents. Different machineries have varying voltage and current ratings. These ratings should be followed in order that the equipment operates properly whenever needed. However, undesirable conditions, like voltages and currents above the prescribed ratings (usually called as faults), are not totally unavoidable. In these conditions, damages on the machinery might occur which can cause production issues and problems, and may even be hazardous to humans. These conditions can be avoided by integrating protective circuitry within the electrical systems.

- Definition
FTA is a technique or graphic model through which factors and conditions that may contribute to a specific undesirable and unforeseeable event are noted and logical organized and represented pictorially. The channel used, interconnects the possible contributory conditions and events by the use of standard logical symbols. Through this, the numerical probabilities of the possible events are entered and then propagated through the provided model to facilitate the evaluation of the probabilities of the undesirable event .
The fault tree analysis (FTA) is the most widely utilized methods exhibited in the system reliability, safety analysis and maintainability. It ...

1. What is a local area network?

Local area network (LAN) is a type of computer network that connects devices and computers within a limited geographical area, such as school, home, office building or computer laboratory (“Local area network,” n.d.). Its main distinguishing characteristics from wide area networks are smaller and limited geographic area, higher rates of data transfer and absence of need for leased telecommunication lines. It is convenient to use LANs in the areas with limited space, which can be as small as one apartment, or as large as a university campus. They are also often used for business purposes, as they have a number of benefits that ...

RAID Hard Drive Configuration

“RAID which stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks” is nothing but a configuration where a logical unit of large storage space is created by putting together a number of different hard disk drives. The purpose of doing this is that it is very robust and can be fault free with higher efficiencies that a single or various individual hard disk drives. RAID is a very good and tested technology across platforms and geographies which help the users in a fast access of data with a lot of reliability. RAID is now commonly becoming a part of every network ...

The knowledgeable engineer always consider the safeness of the product while he or she is designing the equipment, but there are some engineering failure in ...

I consider myself to be honest, strong-willed, and moral. I always try to live an ethical life by helping others whenever I can, like giving money to homeless who deserve it or donating to food drives. I think this is the best way to help people, on an individual basis, rather than through government handouts. My primary values are hard work, honesty, and being fair to others. I express these values by donating money worked hard for to charitable organizations, like the American Red Cross. I believe that we all have to interact in a way that is fair to ...

Introduction

In all moving parts of a machine, bearing failure forms one of the major causes of industrial breakdown for machines rotating at high or low speeds. The following paper provides a comparative analysis son the application of acoustic emission (EA) technique for condition monitoring of bearing element. The use of advanced signal processing and pattern recognition approach was established to monitor bearings conditions through automatic detection and diagnosis of localized defects in bearings. A short-time signal processing technique extracts two normalized and dimensionless features that establish linear discriminant functions used to detect defects on rollers of bearings and the outer race ( ...
