SAFETY ISSUES<br />

FAILURE TERMINOLOGY<br />

Safety<br />

class<br />

Each sub-structure may<br />

belong to a different safety<br />

class (high, normal, low)<br />

Structure<br />

or<br />

product<br />

Entity being designed. May<br />

be sub-divided into substructure,<br />

components, parts<br />

and details.<br />

Example: Pipeline<br />

sub-divided into pipe<br />

sections<br />

Functional<br />

requirements<br />

Requirement that the structure<br />

or part of the structure shall<br />

fulfil.<br />

Example: Pipeline<br />

A) pressure<br />

containment<br />

B) tightness<br />

Limit states<br />

Each failure mode shall be<br />

related to ULS or SLS<br />

Failure<br />

modes<br />

Fashion in which the structure<br />

fails<br />

Example: Pipeline<br />

A) burst (ULS)<br />

B) leakage (ULS)<br />

Failure types<br />

Degree of pre-warning intrinsic to a<br />

given failure mechanism.<br />

Each failure mechanism shall be<br />

related to one of the failure types<br />

(brittle, plastic, ductile)<br />

Failure<br />

mechanisms<br />

Underlying phenomenon at<br />

the material level that<br />

determines the failure mode.<br />

Depending on its level of<br />

severity a failure<br />

mechanism can lead to<br />

several failure modes.<br />

Example: Pipeline<br />

A) fibre failure<br />

(brittle)<br />

B) matrix cracking &<br />

delamination<br />

(ductile)<br />

Failure<br />

criteria<br />

Example: Pipeline<br />

A) maximum strain in<br />

the fibre direction<br />

B) maximum stress<br />

transverse to the<br />

fibres combined<br />

with shear stress<br />
