7.1 Troubleshooting: Failure Modes

There are four different types of assembly failure modes: adhesive, cohesive, substrate and adhesive/cohesive. When analysing a failed assembly, it is essential to determine which failure mode has occurred. A thorough understanding of these failure modes will help identify the root cause of the failure, as well as contributing factors.
