Failure Analysis: A Guide to the Process and Importance of Failure Analysis Testing to Ensure the Longevity of Your Product

“If you don't know how it broke, you don't know how to fix it . . . ”

A guide to understanding how engineering failure analysis is used to prevent failures and improve your product’s design, materials, fabrication techniques, and inspection methods. 

Failures in a product can be catastrophic and result in costly financial implications, which is why failure analysis is a critical aspect of product development and system improvement. Engineering failure analysis is a multi-faceted approach to determining how or why a product failed. Through systematic examination and data collection, the failure's root cause is identified, and data is provided to help prevent future failures.
