This book contains analysis of reasons that cause products to fail.
General methods of product failure evaluation give powerful tools
in product improvement. Such methods, discussed in the book,
include practical risk analysis, failure mode and effect analysis,
preliminary hazard analysis, progressive failure analysis, fault
tree analysis, mean time between failures, Wohler curves, finite
element analysis, cohesive zone model, crack propagation kinetics,
time-temperature collectives, quantitative characterization of
fatigue damage, and fracture maps.
Methods of failure analysis are critical to for material
improvement and they are broadly discussed in this book.
Fractography of plastics is relatively a new field which has many
commonalities with fractography of metals. Here various aspects of
fractography of plastics and metals are compared and contrasted.
Fractography application in studies of static and cycling loading
of ABS is also discussed. Other methods include SEM, SAXS, FTIR,
DSC, DMA, GC/MS, optical microscopy, fatigue behavior, multi-axial
stress, residual stress analysis, punch resistance, creep-rupture,
impact, oxidative induction time, craze testing, defect analysis,
fracture toughness, activation energy of degradation.
Many references are given in this book to real products and real
cases of their failure. The products discussed include office
equipment, automotive compressed fuel gas system, pipes, polymer
blends, blow molded parts, layered, cross-ply and continuous fiber
composites, printed circuits, electronic packages, hip implants,
blown and multi-layered films, construction materials, component
housings, brake cups, composite pressure vessels, swampcoolers,
electrical cables, plumbing fittings, medical devices, medical
packaging, strapping tapes, balloons, marine coatings, thermal
switches, pressure relief membranes, pharmaceutical products,
window profiles, and bone cements.
