Course detail

Dynamic Measurement and Diagnostics

FSI-RZIAcad. year: 2027/2028

Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of measuring dynamic quantities and technical diagnostics. The theoretical explanation of the methods is complemented by practical measurements on rotating machinery and examples of results from engineering practice.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The course is completed with a course credit and an examination. The course credit is awarded for active participation in the exercises. The examination is written and consists of a test of 10 questions, each worth 10 points. A minimum of 50 points is required to pass the examination. The final grade is determined by the number of points obtained in the test according to the ECTS grading scale.

Attendance at the exercises is compulsory. Absence cannot be compensated by attending another group. In case of long-term absence, consultation with the teacher is required.

Aims

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the fundamentals of measuring dynamic quantities, methods of technical diagnostics and approaches to the analysis of measured data. In the exercises, students will become familiar with technical applications of these methods, which will be demonstrated directly on selected measurements. Students will thus gain an overview of technical diagnostics methods and their application in engineering practice.
