modes of failure
1Failure causes — are defects in design, process, quality, or part application, which are the underlying cause of a failure or which initiate a process which leads to failure. Where failure depends on the user of the product or process, then human error must be… …
2Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis — (FMECA) is an extension of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). In addition to the basic FMEA, it includes a criticality analysis, which is used to chart the probability of failure modes against the severity of their consequences. The result …
3Failure mode and effects analysis — A failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a procedure for analysis of potential failure modes within a system for classification by severity or determination of the effect of failures on the system. It is widely used in manufacturing… …

6Metallurgical failure analysis — is the process by which a metallurgist determines the mechanism that has caused a metal component to fail. Typical failure modes involve various types of corrosion and mechanical damage. It has been estimated that the direct annual cost of… …
7Space Shuttle abort modes — A Space Shuttle abort is an emergency procedure due to equipment failure on NASA s Space Shuttle, most commonly during ascent. A main engine failure is a typical abort scenario. There are fewer abort options during reentry and descent. For… …
8Flight control modes (electronic) — New aircraft designs like this Boeing 777 rely on sophisticated flight computers to aid and protect the aircraft in flight. These are governed by computational laws which assign flight control modes during flight Aircraft with fly by wire flight… …

10Common mode failure — A common mode failure occurs when events are not statistically independent. That is, one event causes multiple systems to fail.An example is when all of the pumps for a fire sprinkler system are located in one room. If the room becomes too hot… …
