Mechanical equipment design demands a deep understanding of the inherent failure mechanisms likely to be encountered in service operation. Such understanding can result in the eradication or the limitation of the effects of in‐service failures. This aspect of engineering design is examined and a case study example, in which the design of stand‐by equipment involved the limitation of fretting corrosion, is used as an illustration of the general principles involved.
