Although maintenance tries to prevent them, failures regularly occur in practice. And while the number of different failure modes in the huge range of systems used in industry is nearly infinite, the number of basic failure mechanisms underlying these failures is only limited. However, as this mechanism acts on the material level, a system or process operator or maintenance engineer normally lacks the knowledge to assess the proper mechanism that caused a certain failure. But, a precise identification of the mechanism yields considerable benefits in two ways:
