Design:
– Creative process in the Arts, Sciences and Technologies.
– There are many design heuristics that are derived from rules, relationships and experiences.

Failure:
The many definitions of failure are:• System Failure takes place when load exceeds
capacity by an unacceptable amount • Different types of Failures (highly dependent on
the individual):– Failures which cause unacceptable damage
(important or catastrophic)– Failures which cause damage of little or no
importance.
6
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Failure, cont’d:– Failure should be qualified and quantified if possible.– The results of failure should be taken into account and
fed back into the design process.– The most important aspect is “proper feedback”.– Failures are something engineers spend their life trying
to avoid. However, there are times in which a failure is designed into the system as a function under certain conditions.
• The cause of the conditions are uncontrollable by the engineers but the failure under these conditions can be controlled.

Team’s definition of DFF:
“A system or component designed to fail under certain conditions or circumstances”

Design for FailureDesign for Failure
The System Engineering V-Model has three phases:
1. Design the Product or Component
2. Optimize the Design
3. Validate the Design
10
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Key “DFF” Procedures in relation to the System Engineering V-Model
• Design the Product or Component– Understand the System Architecture (design)– Determine the acceptable failure criteria or
requirements– Conduct a DFMEA on the system or component– Rank severity of failures – Implement actions taken to reduce severity of
failures identified as critical and unavoidable
11
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Key “DFF” Procedures in relation to the System Engineering V-Model
• Optimize the Design– Evaluate design actions to reduce failure
severities of unavoidable failures with minimal impact on: cost, weight and system function
12
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Key “DFF” Procedures in relation to the System Engineering V-Model
• Validate the Design– Test System for Failure
• Analyzing failure types• Failure detection• Verify severity of failure
– Verify that the design under the identified failures meets customer specification by using modeling and prototypes
– Retest the system
13
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Definition of Key DFF Procedures:• System Architecture is defined as the art and science of
creating and building complex systems. That part of systems development most concerned with scoping, structuring, and certification
• Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is defined as systematized activities intended to: 1) recognize and evaluate potential failure of
products/processes and its effects, 2) identify actions to eliminate or reduce the chance of
the potential failure occurring, and 3) document the process
14
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Definition of failure types:– Elastic failure: excessive elastic deformation
• Elastic: strain resulting from the load leaves after the load has been removed
– Slip failure: excessive plastic deformation due to slip.• Plastic: strain exceeds the elastic limit; a portion of the
deformation remains after the load is removed• Slip: plastic deformation independent of time duration of the
applied load– Creep failure: excessive plastic deformation over a long period of
time under constant stress– Failure by Fracture: complete separation of the material.
15
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Two approaches to detect failure:– Passive: detector monitors the inputs and the outputs of the system and decides whether (and if possible what kind of) a failure has occurred. This is done by comparing the measured input-output behavior with “normal” behavior of the system.
– Active: The active approach to failure detection consists of acting upon the system on a periodic basis or at critical times using a test signal, auxiliary signal, in order to exhibit abnormal behaviors which would otherwise remain undetected during normal operation.

Design for FailureDesign for Failure
HeuristicsP = Prescriptive, D = Descriptive• (D) It is better to be aware of the failures than not.• (P) You want to design a “less expensive”
component to fail in order to protect a more expensive component.
• (P) Understand planned failures; fail as they are planned.
• (P) Failure is defined by the beholder, not by the
architect. (Modification of Maier/Rechtin, 270)
18
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Heuristics (continued)• (P) Don’t confuse the functioning of the parts for the
functioning of the system. (Maier/Rechtin, 269)
• (D) Some of the worst failures are system failures. (Maier/Rechtin, 271)
• (P) Choose the elements so that they are as independent as possible; that is, elements with low external complexity (low coupling) and high internal complexity (high cohesion). (Maier/Rechtin, 273)
• (P) The principles of minimum communications and proper partitioning are key to system testability and fault isolation. (Maier/Rechtin, 275)
• (D) Knowing a failure has occurred is more important than the actual failure. (Maier/Rechtin, 276)

Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Situations to implement DFF• The main purpose of designing for failure is the
prevention of injury or harm to a system, component or person in the event of a potential system or component failure (either catastrophic or minor).
• The following systems were developed to meet the above criteria:– Air Bag Deployment System– Electrical Circuit Protection– Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS)
27

Situations to implement DFF
– Collapsible Steering Column– Windshield Breakage– Run “Flat” Tire– Paper Shredder
28
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Concepts in Planning for Failure• Single Point Failure – Example: If system operations
depend on knowing the time and there is only one watch, it becomes a single point failure mechanism. (Smead)
• Redundant Systems – Example: Having 2 watches there is a back-up device to tell time. However, you must have a way to resolve inconsistencies between the two watches to determine the correct time. (Smead)
• Failsafe – “describes a device which if (or when) it fails, fails in a way that will cause no harm or at least a minimum of harm to other devices or danger to personnel.” (Wikipedia)
• Failover / Switchover – a device that takes over for a failed mechanism only after the point of failure (Smead)
• Ping-pong – devices that take turns operating, so as not to get overloaded, (also beware of inconsistencies) (Smead)
29
Design for FailureDesign for Failure“Fail-safe” mechanism failure examples• Therac 25 – Computerized radiation therapy machine (Leveson)
– 1985-87 Injuries and deaths from radiation overexposure – Model had replaced several mechanical interlocks for safety with
software algorithms.– Operators were able to retry administering doses after a dose-rate
malfunction was indicated incorrectly by the software.– A safety analysis of the device in 1983 by manufacturer excluded
software in the fault tree analysis. • Christus St. Joseph Hospital – Elevator Decapitation (Greene)
– August 2003, Surgical Intern, Hitoshi Nikaidoh pinned in elevator doors while closing, decapitated when elevator raised
– Nikaidoh had expected the elevator doors to retract when an obstacle (his body) was encountered but they did not.
Lesson: Fail safe devices, poke-yokes and safety mechanisms must be fully tested for proper designed function. Don’t assume they work properly, or will continue to work properly over time.

Airbag Deployment System
32
How does it relate to DFF?• The air bag system is
designed to deploy in the event of an accident (failure of a system or component).
• Consistent deployment is vital in airbag designs. This means consistent failure of components that contain airbags is vital.
33
How does it work?• Internal seam in steering wheel
covers allows for uniform failure in order for airbag to inflate in an consistent time and manner.
• Seats and Headliners – Some designs have a panel
that opens like a door in order to have controlled deployment of the seat side air bags.
– Headliners typically have a weak point in the design that will break during the deployment.
34
Electrical Circuit Protection
35
How does it relate to DFF?• The electrical circuit system is
designed for …• One Time Applications• Once failed the
component cannot be reused.– Bolt-In Fuse– J-Case Fuses– Maxi/Mini Fuses
36
How does it work?• The circuit protection system is
designed to fail when the conditions (listed below) are over exerted.
• Following parameters are part of circuit protection selection.– Ambient Temperature– Breaking Capacity– Operating Voltages in Volts– Operating Current in
Amperes– Required Failure Time– Re-settable or One-Time
37
• Re-Settable Breakers– Once the component fails,
it can be manually reset and used again. Some reset themselves after failed condition is stopped.
• Blade Design• 120240V AC Single
pole breaker (typically used in residential wiring)
• High Speed Fuse Applications– Used with Allen-Bradley
Controllers and Drivers.– Manufacturing Equipment
Application
38
Volvo Whiplash Protection Seating System (Whips)
39
How does it relate to DFF?• The WHIPS system, unique to Volvo, is designed to provide markedly better protection from neck and back injuries in the event of a rear impact.
How does it work?• In the event of a rear impact, the WHIPS seat responds immediately.
• The seatback/headrest assembly moves back and then tilts down, absorbing the impact.– In laboratory tests acceleration forces on the neck are reduced by up to 50%.
• Under normal condition this would be a failure of the seat system.
40
Collapsible Steering Column
NASCAR Steering Column
41
How does it relate to DFF?• Volvo has designed a steering column that collapses
down and away from the driver during a severe crash (system failure).
How does it work?• Upon impact, the steering column structure fails in order
to protect the customer.
42
Windshield Breakage
43
How does it relate to DFF?• The windshield is designed to
provide a clear and undistorted view to the driver and passenger AND minimize danger in the event of a collision.
• The windshield in a vehicle is designed to stay in place upon impact. The glass will not shatter into a lot of small pieces. This protects the vehicle occupants from serious injury.
• The safest place to be during a car accident is in the car. Your windshield is an important barrier that keeps you in the car. A cracked windshield can fail during a collision or roll over, allowing you or your passenger to be ejected. A passenger ejected from a car or truck is much more likely to experience a serious injury or death.
44
How does it relate to DFF?• An automobile's windshield is
designed to prevent the roof from crushing you in a roll over accident. A windshield can be significantly weakened by cracks and may fail to support the roof if the car flips over, causing severe injury or death to occupants.
45
How does it work?
• Windshield glass is made by fabricating ordinary glass (flat) into high-grade shaped and tempered glass.
• Two primary types of safety glass:– Laminated (Front Windshields)– Tempered (Side/Rear
Windshields)
• Many people don't realize that front-seat passenger airbags deploy against the windshield.
• In the event of a front-end collision, a cracked windshield can fail, allowing passengers who aren't seat-belted properly to be ejected from the vehicle through the windshield.
46
Run “Flat” Tire
47
How does it relate to DFF?– The “run flat tire” is a system that is designed to allow the
driver to continue to drive their vehicle in the event of a tire blowout (product failure).
How does it work?– When the tire loses pressure, it rests on a support ring
attached to the wheel. – Majority of the run-flat capability is on the wheel versus the
tire. The wheel does not “wear out” whereas, the tire does wear out and require replacement.
– Benefit of Run Flat Tire• Eliminate the need for spare tire – reduce the weight of
vehicle – increase fuel efficiency• Allow more luggage space by eliminating the spare tire• Increase driver security and confidence in their vehicles• Promise better ride quality because their sidewall's stiffness
can be equivalent to today's standard tires versus the other technologies that are on the market (self sealing and self supporting)

• Paper Shredder (Jam Mechanism)
49
Design for FailureDesign for Failure
Paper Shredder (Jam Mechanism)How does it relate to DFF?• The paper shredder is designed to shred paper. If too many sheets
or a non-paper object (metal, thick plastic) are fed through it the failure mode is to jam or stop working before damaging the product.
How does it work?• There are several shredder designs available (electrical or battery
operated) to accept different quantities ( 1 thru 140 sheets) of paper. The paper is then fed thru the shredder opening.
• If the quantity or thickness is too great the shredder jams.• If a non-paper object is placed in the shredder it jams.• Once the extra sheets or object is removed, the shredder reset
button can be activated.

criteria for all types of uses/ misuses (additional failures)• Develop products or processes that meet the failure
mode and is robust against different sources of variation• Address new technology or existing technology in new
environments against the failure modes• Design for failure may prevent more damage by making
the system inoperable.
52
