Failure modes and mechanisms in gray cast iron pipe

Failures in cast iron water mains are more complex and diverse than is widely understood in the industry. This paper discusses the modes and causes of pipe failures that have been encountered during a three year investigation by the National Research Council Canada. In addition to corrosion, manufacturing defects, human error and unexpected levels of pipe loading all play a role in the large nu...

Simulation of Characteristic of Linear Degradation with Failure Modes

Failure Modes and Failure Characteristics of a TDMA driven Ethernet

When developing protocols for a speci c communication medium it is very useful to have a detailled fault hypothesis available In this paper the failure behaviour of the TDMA driven Ethernet in the MARS system will be described

Risk Assessment of Clinical Care in Emergency Departments ByHealth Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Introduction: Medical errors are among significant health system problems. The best method to detect errors is to identify the root and systemic causes of errors. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the failures of clinical care in emergency departments using the Healthcare Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (HFMEA). Materials and Methods: This was an analytical and cross-sectional stu...
