Engineering Design to Failure Prevention

These Proceedings consist o£ a group of twenty- three submitted papers from the 25th meeting of the Mechanical Failures Prevention Group which was held at the National Bureau of Standards in Gaithersburg, Maryland on November 3-5, 1976. The central theme of the Proceedings is the application of design to failure prevention, with enphasis on the techniques of design, materials of design, design validation, and the goals, purposes, and requirements of design as related to product liability.
