Abstract

Fred discusses the need to fully understand failure mechanisms in order to make meaningful reliability improvements.

Key Points

Join Fred as he discusses the difference between a failure mode and a failure mechanism.

Topics include:

• The basic difference between symptoms (failure modes) and the physical or chemical specific cause of a failure (failure mechanism)
• Can you describe the failure based on deep understanding of how it happens?
• A few issues when you don’t know enough about the failure mechanisms.

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques to field data analysis approaches.
