Failure static

This ranking implies that human errors are more likely to occur than active equipment failures (functioning equipment, such as a mnning pump) and that active equipment failures are more likely to occur than passive equipment failures (static, nonfunctioning equipment, such as a storage tank). 

Electrical Shock. Personnel injury or fatality due to electric current passing through any portion of the body. Typically caused by contact with energized electric circuit, procedural error, component failures, static discharge, human error, or environmental conditions. Can also degrade equipment operation.

The need for redundancy in the culture system needs to be assessed. Failure of a well pump that brings up water to supply a static pond system may not be a serious problem in countries where new pumps can be purchased in a nearby town. However, it can be disastrous in developing countries where new pumps and pump parts are often not available, but must be ordered from another country. Several weeks or months may pass before the situation can be remedied unless the culturist maintains a selection of spares. 

The labyrinth portion of the seal was designed to withstand the static and dynamic differential pressure (in the event of a major seal failure) while passing the minimum volume of purge gas. 

Embrittlement embrittlement and for improperly heat treated steel, both of which give intergranular cracks. (Intercrystalline penetration by molten metals is also considered SCC). Other steels in caustic nitrates and some chloride solutions. Brass in aqueous ammonia and sulfur dioxide. physical environments. bases of small corrosion pits, and cracks form with vicious circle of additional corrosion and further crack propagation until failure occurs. Stresses may be dynamic, static, or residual. stress relieve susceptible materials. Consider the new superaustenitic stainless steels. 

Applications of ISS to polymer analysis can provide some extremely useful and unique information that cannot be obtained by other means. This makes it extremely complementary to use ISS with other techniques, such as XPS and static SIMS. Some particularly important applications include the analysis of oxidation or degradation of polymers, adhesive failures, delaminations, silicone contamination, discolorations, and contamination by both organic or inorganic materials within the very outer layers of a sample. XPS and static SIMS are extremely comple-mentar when used in these studies, although these contaminants often are undetected by XPS and too complex because of interferences in SIMS. The concentration, and especially the thickness, of these thin surfiice layers has been found to have profound affects on adhesion. Besides problems in adhesion, ISS has proven very useful in studies related to printing operations, which are extremely sensitive to surface chemistry in the very outer layers. 

The effect of ozone is complicated in so far as its effect is largely at or near the surface and is of greatest consequence in lightly stressed rubbers. Cracks are formed with an axis perpendicular to the applied stress and the number of cracks increases with the extent of stress. The greatest effect occurs when there are only a few cracks which grow in size without the interference of neighbouring cracks and this may lead to catastrophic failure. Under static conditions of service the use of hydrocarbon waxes which bloom to the surface because of their crystalline nature give some protection but where dynamic conditions are encountered the saturated hydrocarbon waxes are usually used in conjunction with an antiozonant. To date the most effective of these are secondary alkyl-aryl-p-phenylenediamines such as /V-isopropyl-jV-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (IPPD).

Eqs. 1-5 hold whether failure is interfacial or cohesive within the adhesive. Furthermore, Eq. 5 shows that the reversible work of adhesion directly controls the fracture energy of an adhesive joint, even if failure occurs far from the interface. This is demonstrated in Table 5, which shows the static toughness of a series of wedge test specimens with a range of adherend surface treatments. All of these samples failed cohesively within the resin, yet show a range of static toughness values of over 600%. 

Fracture mechanics has also been used to predict failure under static stresses. The basis of this is that observed crack growth rates have been found to be...
