It helps to increase the failure resistance of the product and the tolerance<br />

of the product to failures.<br />

Example<br />

In a stress-strength analysis experiment it was observed that many failures<br />

happened due to a weak point, which had been exposed to a strong stress.<br />

This stress can arise due to external or internal conditions. Gradual<br />

weakening can be caused by fatigue, corrosion, <strong>de</strong>terioration or diffusion.<br />

The catastrophic effect is, as a rule, an immediate overload. Figure 1<br />

indicates the effects of stress on a unit.<br />
