Failure that cannot be consistently reproduced under the same conditions. It works sometimes, fails at other times.
DFMEA stands for design failure mode and effect analysis.
Usual cause of failure in diamond core bit drilling is not following the guidelines specially indicated for the tool. It usually used the tool exceed to the preferred used of the tools so the result is breaking the material of the tool itself.
Hardware Failure Rates The illustration below depicts failure rate as a function of time for hardware. The relationship, often called the "bathtub curve," indicates the typical failure rate of individual components within a large batch. It shows that in say a batch of 100 products, a relatively large number will fail early on before settling down to a steady rate. Eventually, age and wear and tear get the better of all them and failure rates rise again near the end of the products life. To assist in quality control, many new batches of products are 'soak' tested for maybe 24 hours in a hostile environment (temperature/humidity/variation etc.) to pinpoint those that are likely to fail early on in their life, this also highlights any inherent design/production weaknesses. These early failure rates can be attributed to two things • Poor or unrefined initial design. Correcting this, results in much lower failure rates for successive batches of the product. • Manufacturing defects i.e. defects in the product brought about by poor assembly/materials etc. during production. Both types of failure can be corrected (either by refining the design, or by replacing broken components out in the field), which lead to the failure rate dropping to a steady-state level for some period of time. As time passes, however, the failure rates rise again as hardware components suffer from the cumulative effects of dust, vibration, abuse, temperature extremes and many other environmental maladies. Stated simply, "…The hardware begins to wear out."Software Engineering Topic 1 Page 10 Software Failure Rates Software is not susceptible to the same environmental problems that cause hardware to wear out. In theory, therefore, the failure rate curve for software should take the form shown below. Undiscovered defects in the first engineered version of the software will cause high failure rates early in the life of a program. However, these are corrected (hopefully without introducing other errors) and the curve flattens as shown. The implication is clear. Software doesn't wear out. However, it does deteriorate with maintenance as shown below. During its life, software will undergo changes and it is likely that some new defects will be introduced as a result of this, causing the failure rate curve to spike as shown above. Before the curve can return to the original steady-state failure rate (i.e. before the new bugs have been removed), another change is requested, causing the curve to spike again. Slowly, the minimum failure rate level begins to rise-- the software is deteriorating due to change. Thanks & Regards, Bastin Vinoth NG
Anything which is supporting to a beam or column to eliminate the buckling failure due to high deflection and unbalanced eccentric load
Red out is an expression for the effect of excessive negative gravity. Caused by "excess" blood in the head ... actually the failure of blood to flow out of the head. Chief cause is outside loops in aircraft.
The failure is intermittent.
Yes, brake servo failure can be intermittent. This may occur due to a vacuum leak, electrical issues, or inconsistent operation of the servo itself. Symptoms might include fluctuating brake pedal feel or varying levels of assistance when braking. An intermittent failure can make diagnosis challenging, as the issue may not always be present during inspection.
P0717 TSS Intermittent Failure TRANSMISSION SENSOR CIRCUIT!
There is an intermittent failure in the safety restraint system. You will need to have the system checked for codes to know possible causes.There is an intermittent failure in the safety restraint system. You will need to have the system checked for codes to know possible causes.

A vehicle with a failed fuel pump will not start. But fuel pumps can have intermediate degrees of failure which can result in intermittent failure or low fuel pressure.
probably ignition control module failure
The three failure types caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage are catastrophic failure, latent failure, and parametric failure. Catastrophic failure results in immediate and permanent damage, latent failure causes delayed failure after the initial damage occurs, and parametric failure leads to a shift in the component's performance without immediate visible damage.
Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent cam position sensor - common failure on these cars
Intermittent failure of the swicth. Switch is part of the pad covering the airbag.
bad bulb, relay, wiring, turn signal switch
Sensor failure is often heat related , when crank sensors first start to go out they often have an intermittent failure when the engine is at full operating temperature. You are cooling the sensor with water.
