Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Aspects of failure analysis methodology are discussed, taking into account questions which arise with many failure problems, the common causes and defects in failure, the graphical technique provided by the 'fault tree', the quantitative evaluation of the fault tree, and the applications of fault tree analysis. Attention is given to the tools and techniques used in failure analysis, a fault tree for a boiler tube failure, the role of fracture mechanics, storage and retrieval of failure data, a failure experience matrix, reliability and failure analysis, and the economics of quality performance. It is concluded that failure analysis and fracture mechanics when used in combination judiciously will help reduce incidence of failures and improve reliability of engineering structures in an economical way.
