Abstract
To increase the safety of machines and plants, a systematic failure analysis must be integrated into the technical development. A failure analysis methodology which is based on the principle of a design methodology developed during the past few years is described To effect a methodical failure analysis, considerations on stresses and stress reactions must be carried out. Failure characteristics and failure mechanisms are identified uniformly and brought into a standardized classification. Based on these pre-conditions, it is possible to program the working method of the failure analysis. Finally, the working method described permits a standardized and comparable storage and evaluation of failure data.
