Category: Engineering Failures
Engineering failures refer to instances where structures, systems, or components do not perform as intended, often resulting in breakdowns, accidents, or significant malfunctions. These failures can occur in various engineering fields, including civil, mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering. Causes may include design flaws, material defects, manufacturing errors, poor maintenance, or unforeseen environmental conditions. The consequences of engineering failures can range from minor inconveniences to catastrophic events, leading to loss of life, economic losses, and damage to public trust in engineering practices. Analyzing engineering failures is crucial for improving safety standards, refining design processes, and preventing future incidents.
