Table A-4 Link between functional requirements and failure modes<br />

Functional Requirements Failure Modes Comments<br />

Load carrying capacity Fracture Shall always be checked<br />

Global, local buckling Shall always be checked if compressive loads are present.<br />

Buckling may lead to fracture.<br />

Blast<br />

Same as fracture, caused by high rate external loads.<br />

Impact<br />

Damage from impact may effect load carrying capacity<br />

Excessive deformation,<br />

ovalisation<br />

excessive displacement<br />

Wear<br />

Only relevant if deformations effect load carrying capacity, e.g. if<br />

the structure can jump out of a mechanical joint.<br />

Wear may lead to a reduction of strength, causing fracture.<br />

Pressure containment Fracture, local fracture Shall always be checked.<br />

Global, local buckling Shall always be checked if compressive loads are present.<br />

Buckling may lead to fracture or excessive deformations.<br />

Blast<br />

Same as fracture, caused by high rate external loads.<br />

Burst<br />

Same as fracture, but combined with rapid release of fluid from a<br />

pressure vessel. Failure consequence is usually related to high<br />

safety class.<br />

Impact<br />

Damage from impact may effect load carrying capacity<br />

Excessive deformation,<br />

ovalisation<br />

Excessive displacement<br />

Only relevant if deformations effect load carrying capacity, e.g. if<br />

the structure can jump out of a mechanical joint or a seal.<br />

Leakage<br />

Related to fracture, but often just a gradual release of fluid from a<br />

pressure vessel. Fracture will cause leakage, but other minor<br />

failure mechanisms may also cause leakage. Failure consequence<br />

is often less critical and related to normal safety class, but it<br />

depends on the fluid.<br />

Wear<br />

Wear may lead to a reduction of strength, causing fracture.<br />

Resistance to the environment or chemicals is treated in this<br />

standard as a possible change to material properties that shall be<br />

considered in the evaluation of all other functional requirements.<br />

Resistance to fire is mainly treated in this standard as a possible<br />

change to material properties that shall be considered in the<br />

evaluation of all other functional requirements.<br />

Insulation can be tested and analysed the same way as for other<br />

materials. Anisotropic thermal coefficients and thermal<br />

expansions should be considered.<br />

Electrical aspects are not covered in this standard.<br />

Composites are an insulator, unless filled with conductive<br />

particles or fibres. Coating with a fluid or paint may also create<br />

some conductivity. Special electrical requirements for the<br />

application shall be considered.<br />
