In spite of the experiences in the design, material selection, fabrication and storage, fastener failures are reported frequently. While each failure leaves the user with some wisdom, analysing a failure is time consuming and affects the project schedules. In the aerospace scenario, it is all the more important to analyse the causes of fastener failures as a single failure can sometimes be catastrophic and mission critical. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to address why fasteners fail with a view to provide an insight into the modes and mechanisms. Finally, an attempt is made to bring out various modes and mechanisms of fastener failures. Four typical case studies on fastener failures are presented to highlight them.
