Failure types environmental

The analysis of the failure types is very essential (error or failure modes, possible error behavior of characteristics of elements etc.). ISO 26262 mentions indications in the correlating appendices of parts 5 (attachment D) and 6 (attachment D) for the safety mechanisms, which need to be implemented. For a deductive analysis we can only determine the possible failure modes from the function, the characteristics of the function (parameter) as well as their relation to the environment. Error modes like no function, an incorrect function afimction too low or too high or drifts can be evaluated in the context of their Diagnostic Coverage for electronic parts (DC). Furthermore, sporadic (intermittent or transient) failure, oscillations or other dynamic failure are derived from the specified intended functions and their characteristics. How and in what way these errors propagate, depends on environmental conditions. Thus, in a... 

A suitable maintenance strategy should be developed for equipment by considering the criticality and failure mode, and then applying a mixture of the forms of maintenance described above. In particular, the long-term cost of maintenance of an item of equipment should be estimated over the whole life of the project and combined with its capital cost to select both the type of equipment and form of maintenance which gives the best full lifecycle cost on a discounted basis), while of course meeting the technical, safety and environmental specifications. 

KSC results from an environmental change that affects the probability of failure of the affected components. An obvious example is an increased failure rate due to a change in conditions such as fire, stresses from an earthquake, or improper maintenance practices affecting several components. NUREG/CR-2300 classifies this type of common cause as "Type 1."... 

The failure data relating to electronic and electric components are available in the form of handbooks. Failure rates are derived with the aid of calculation models based on statistical relations for which the incorporation of a (large) number of parameters is required. The following minimum of information is needed type of component, manufacturer and environmental factors. 

Glass is one of the engineer s most useful and versatile materials. There are many types of glass to choose from to provide a wide range of physical, mechanical, electrical and optical properties for practically every type of environmental condition. The transparency of glass facilitates inspection of process operations and minimises the risk of failure due to unsuspected corrosion, while the hardness and smoothness contribute to easy cleaning. 

Environmental stress cracking (ESC), usually associated with SCG accelerated by surfactants or other aggressive media, is also of considerable interest in its own right, since pipe materials are often intended for service in contact with water or other industrial fluids. Oxidative degradation is another important concern, particularly at high temperatures, and stabilisers are often added specifically to retard SCG and catastrophic failure [65, 66, 67, 68], the stabiliser type and concentration being critical at very low SCG rates, even where they have little effect on rapid fracture [69].
