This chapter describes the major causes of mechanical failure of the engineering components or structure. Various level of materials performance is introduced. Failures due to fracture, fatigue, creep, wear and corrosion have been explained in order to understand the common mechanical failure. A case study on the failure analysis of an electrical disconnector has been presented with the recommendation to prevent the failure.
