    Abstract Failure occurs when the workpiece stop doing one or more functions that should be good before self service expected to achieve, it can be said workpiece fails or is damaged. Failure can affect the output of production. As in the Piranti Work failures affecting production yield. At the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) an event or problem is identified the root cause. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a process used in investigating and classifying the roots of the problems incidents that may affect the safety, health, environment, quality, reliability and production. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on the CV. Piranti Works is used to identify failures that affect the outcome of production. In this study integrated Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Barrier Analysis as a method to identify the root cause of the problem. Fault Tree Analysis describes how an event affects the occurrence of failure. While on Barrier Analysis to determine the barriers that occur so that it can lead to failure. So that improvements can be made based on the root of the problem is found and the failures are not re-occur

    Aluminium and Zinc (Al-Zn) alloy coated steel sheet (JIS G3141) was used as a heat reflector in timber dry kiln. After six months continuous service at 110oC in moist condition, the heat reflector is corroded. Failure analysis method was used to analyze this corrosion phenomena. Macroscopic and microscopic examination with some characterization have been performed to determine the elemental composition and corrosion products. The elemental composition of corroded heat reflector that were detected by SEM-EDS are sulphur, chloride, calcium, and potassium. XRD analysis revealed the zinc aluminium carbonate hydroxide hydrate (Zn6Al2(OH)16CO3.4H2O) known as black rust staining and iron oxide (Fe3O4), as corrosion products. Environmental condition in timber dry kiln with the existence of acid and alkaline elements cause the corrosion process occur. Those elements come from the dried timber and steam that adhered on the heat reflector surface attacked the Al-Zn coating and base metal. Humidity and high temperature in timber dry kiln environment increase the corrosion rate of the heat reflector

    Multiple correspondence analysis to study failures in a diverse population of a cable

    The study of failure behaviour of a diverse population of cables is challenging. Previous attempts have failed to capture the complexity of cable system failures due to an independent analysis of multiple failure causes or influential factors. In this paper, the Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) is proposed for simultaneous analyses of multiple variables responsible for the cable failures and classification of cables into homogeneous groups in terms of past failure behaviour. The proposed classification method is less subjective as it gives equal consideration to all the cable features. The methodology has been applied to the main cable section and cable joint failure data of a diverse population of cables obtained from a Chinese utility company. The failure data have six categorical variables related to cable features and failure characteristics. The application of MCA provided an enriched view and understanding of failure behaviour by allowing visual exploration of the failure patterns and associations. Based on the past failure, the cable sections and joints were classified into three and four groups, respectively. The failure trend of each classified group is evaluated separately. Results show that failure history and trend of each classified group is different. Thus, they must be analyzed and treated differently in the forecasting or maintenance planning procedures

    Independent Orbiter Assessment (IOA): Analysis of the crew equipment subsystem

    Get PDF
    The results of the Independent Orbiter Assessment (IOA) of the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Critical Items List (CIL) are presented. The IOA approach features a top-down analysis of the hardware to determine failure modes, criticality, and potential critical (PCIs) items. To preserve independence, this analysis was accomplished without reliance upon the results contained within the NASA FMEA/CIL documentation. The independent analysis results coresponding to the Orbiter crew equipment hardware are documented. The IOA analysis process utilized available crew equipment hardware drawings and schematics for defining hardware assemblies, components, and hardware items. Each level of hardware was evaluated and analyzed for possible failure modes and effects. Criticality was assigned based upon the severity of the effect for each failure mode. Of the 352 failure modes analyzed, 78 were determined to be PCIs

    Incorporation of a progressive failure analysis method in the CSM testbed software system

    Analysis of the postbuckling behavior of composite shell structures pose many difficult and challenging problems in the field of structural mechanics. Current analysis methods perform well for most cases in predicting the postbuckling response of undamaged components. To predict component behavior accurately at higher load levels, the analysis must include the effects of local material failures. The CSM testbed software system is a highly modular structural analysis system currently under development at Langley Research Center. One of the primary goals of the CSM testbed is to provide a software environment for the development of advanced structural analysis methods and modern numerical methods which will exploit advanced computer architecture such as parallel-vector processors. Development of a progressive failure analysis method consists of the design and implementation of a processor which will perform the ply-level progressive failure analysis and the development of a geometrically nonlinear analysis procedure which incorporates the progressive failure processor. Regarding the development of the progressive failure processor, two components are required: failure criteria and a degradation model. For the initial implementation, the failure criteria of Hashin will be used. For a matrix failure which typically indicates the development of transverse matrix cracks, the ply properties will be degraded. Work to date includes the design of the progressive failure analysis processor and initial plans for the controlling geometrically nonlinear analysis procedure. The implementation of the progressive failure analysis has begun. Access to the model database and the Hashin failure criteria are completed. Work is in progress on the input/output operations for the processor related data and the finite element model updating procedures. In total the progressive failure processor is approximately one-third complete

    Engineering failure analysis and design optimisation with HiP-HOPS

    Get PDF
    The scale and complexity of computer-based safety critical systems, like those used in the transport and manufacturing industries, pose significant challenges for failure analysis. Over the last decade, research has focused on automating this task. In one approach, predictive models of system failure are constructed from the topology of the system and local component failure models using a process of composition. An alternative approach employs model-checking of state automata to study the effects of failure and verify system safety properties. In this paper, we discuss these two approaches to failure analysis. We then focus on Hierarchically Performed Hazard Origin & Propagation Studies (HiP-HOPS) - one of the more advanced compositional approaches - and discuss its capabilities for automatic synthesis of fault trees, combinatorial Failure Modes and Effects Analyses, and reliability versus cost optimisation of systems via application of automatic model transformations. We summarise these contributions and demonstrate the application of HiP-HOPS on a simplified fuel oil system for a ship engine. In light of this example, we discuss strengths and limitations of the method in relation to other state-of-the-art techniques. In particular, because HiP-HOPS is deductive in nature, relating system failures back to their causes, it is less prone to combinatorial explosion and can more readily be iterated. For this reason, it enables exhaustive assessment of combinations of failures and design optimisation using computationally expensive meta-heuristics. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
