The electrolytic capacitor can only have voltage across it in one direction. Failure to comply will result in catastrophic destruction of the capacitor.
Stress intensity is related to product of stress and flaw size for materials. If stress is increased to critical, this results in catastrophic failure. The critical stress intensity factor KIc is a property of the material. KIc = Strength x sqrt(flaw) x geometry factor
100 WVDC means 100 working volts DC. That is the maximum operating voltage that the capacitor is certified to have across it. Exceeding that rating could puncture a hole in the dielectric, leading to catastrophic failure of the capacitor.
strain-to-failure
It is a measure of how prone to failure a system is... how often is does not work as intended! For instance it a system fails 5 times out of 10 it would have a failure rate of 50%
A combination of two failures lead to catastrophic event and the first failure is latent is there probability requirement for the latent failure?
An catastrophic failure of a vehicle tire.
Failure of safety critical systems can be catastrophic. like a fire alarm system in a building.

A2. When they fail, their failure is catastrophic. Survival is quite in doubt.
Depending on the type, it might have a catastrophic failure
An upset failure damages a component so that it does not function well, but will still operate at less than optimum performance. A catastrophic failure damages something beyond repair.
