[In-Class Activity] Explain It: Reliability Functions
An in-class activity from the course slides — reproduced here so you can find it again after class.
📋 What to do
- Your group has been assigned 1 of our 6 types of core failure and reliability functions: F(t) Failure Function, R(t) Reliability Function, f(t) Change in Failure Function, z(t) Failure Rate (Hazard Rate), H(t) Accumulative Hazard Rate, AFR(t1, t2) Average Failure Rate.
- 0.1 Open the Team Boards and choose the topic “Explain It Reliability”.
- 0.2 Pick the problem for your assigned function. Which function is your team's?
- F(t) — on-campus teams A, G, M, S; DL teams 1, 7
- R(t) — on-campus teams B, H, N; DL teams 2, 8
- f(t) — on-campus teams C, I, O; DL teams 3, 9
- z(t) — on-campus teams D, J, P; DL teams 4, 10
- H(t) — on-campus teams E, K, Q; DL teams 5, 11
- AFR(t1, t2) — on-campus teams F, L, R; DL teams 6, 12
- 0.3 Put your team name and your members in the header first, before you write anything else — that is what makes the board yours and what we present from.
- Fill in your board with your answers to these questions:
- What does this function mean?
- How do you code this function?
- Write an example calculation using this function.
- 4. Press Copy for Canvas and paste it into the Canvas text box.
- We present straight from the boards in the presenter view — about 2 minutes per team.
