Failure! Why did it happen? Good question! It may have happened to a technical product, an economic investment, a biological condition, or in many other circumstances. Chances are, someone will want to know why such a failure occurred.
Engineers are frequently called upon to find, or are faced with the need to know, the reason for a failure. In the course of your engineering career, you may have on occasion been faced with the task of determining why, or how, a failure has occurred. Besides the economic issues associated with such a failure, there may be safety or other important consequences. Determination of the characteristics of and the reason for failure may be vital. In order to properly, and successfully, assess failures it is necessary to follow a suitable procedure.
This course describes principles and techniques that are helpful in guiding a successful failure appraisal.
