Failure of components or systems must be prevented by both
designers and operators of systems, but knowledge of the underlying
mechanisms is often lacking. Since the relation between the
expected usage of a system and its failure behavior is unknown,
unexpected failures often occur, with possibly serious financial
and safety consequences. Principles of Loads and Failure
Mechanisms. Applications in Maintenance, Reliability and Design
provides a complete overview of all relevant failure mechanisms,
ranging from mechanical failures like fatigue and creep to
corrosion and electric failures. Both qualitative and quantitative
descriptions of the mechanisms and their governing loads enable a
solid assessment of a system's reliability in a given or assumed
operational context. Moreover, a unique range of applications of
this knowledge in the fields of maintenance, reliability and design
are presented. The benefits of understanding the physics of failure
are demonstrated for subjects like condition monitoring, predictive
maintenance, prognostics and health management, failure analysis
and reliability engineering. Finally, the role of these mechanisms
in design processes and design for maintenance are illustrated.
