Catastrophic Failure

Catastrophic Failure

Catastrophic failure is seen in the steam wind turbine rotor occurring on account of peak stress acting on the rotor along with the stress concentration raises which ultimately brings about the failure with the disc. In gun, catastrophic failure usually describes a rupture or disintegration with the barrel or receiver with the gun when heating it. Some possible causes for here is the gun being outside of battery, using ammunition by having an incorrect propellant cost etc.
