Failure Analysis 2IntroductionThis report paper is about the failure analysis in automation engineering with a major focus being directed car tyre failures. Some of the subtopics discussed in this report paper while discussing the failure analysis include the modes of failure, the cause of failure, and implication of the failure. Failure analysis of the car tyres can be described as the process of analysing and collecting data to determine the cause of tyre failure with an aim of finding out the correction actions and liability. It is important to analyse the failure mode of the car tyre since the information acquired from the analysis of the tyres can be used by the tyre manufacturing industry in developing new products as well as improving the existing product. The reasons why failure analysis is performed on a particular failure mode include prevention of environmental hazards and customer dissatisfaction, achieving process reliability, ensuring product safety, and prevention of product malfunction. The process of failure analysis of the car tyres depends on the collection of the tyre components that have just failed through puncturing and then followed by an inspection of the causes of the failure by the use of numerous failure analysis methods[ CITATION Mar131 \l 2057 ]. Background InformationThe failure mode and effects analysis procedures were described in 1949 in the procedure document of US Armed Forces Military MIL-P-1629 and were later revised as MIL-STD-1629A in 1980. In the year 1970, the use of failure mode and effect analysis as well as other techniques spread to numerous industries. The industry of automation first began the use of failure mode and effect analysis 1970s as a consideration of regulatory and safety after the affair of Pinto. The Ford Company applied the similar approach to processes
Failure Analysis 3of failure mode and effect analysis when considering the potential method induced failure before production is launched[ CITATION Wil14 \l 2057 ]. After 1993, the failure analysis methodology started being used extensively in numerous industries such as healthcare, software, plastics, food service, and semiconductor processing. The procedures of effects and criticality and failure mode and effect analysis identify the mechanism of the product failure, however, these procedures may not model the product in question without software that is specific. This limitation can be minimized to givemeaningful input to procedures that are critical like accelerated test programs, root cause analysis, and virtual qualification[ CITATION Jos142 \l 2057 ]. FailureFailure is a term that can be defined as the loss of a function under conditions that are stated. The failure under consideration in this analysis is the tyre failure. A tyre of a vehicle or any moving locomotive can fail under its stated conditions through busting or flat tyre as a result of overloading. A failure is a term used to refer to a specific manner through which collapsing of the tyre occurs in a part of the tyre or the whole tyre being investigated. The failure mode also describes the process through which the tyre failure occurs[ CITATION Ele12 \l 2057 ]. The failure mode of the tyre begins with the formation of lines of weaknesses at a particular spot of the tyre or through a sharp object causing a hole in the tyre. This will lead to the air inside the tyre to start coming out slowly until the tyre becomes completely flat making the locomotive to be impossible to drive. Some of the causes of flat tyre include potholes on roads, alloy wheel leaks, over-pumped tyres, vandalism, tyre beat leaks, ripped tyre, damage of valve stem, and punctured by a sharp object[ CITATION Dav152 \l 2057 ].
