"failure mechanism" refers to the way or process through which something stops working or breaks down. It's a way of describing how and why things can fail or stop functioning as intended.
Full definition
There are two
failure mechanisms of concern to dividend investors: a failure to keep up with inflation and actual dividend cuts.

What's certain is that a combination of deformation at the upper corners, a thin separator and the mechanical stresses due to natural cycling make for a
major failure mechanism.

The study unearths a significant relationship between spider web structure, loading points, and
failure mechanisms.
This is due to the complex interaction between stress fields from stacking faults and the ones from free boundaries of the nano - rods, which can alter
the failure mechanism of nanorods with stacking faults compared to the perfect ones.
«The complex nature of the stresses formed in nanowires, as a result of superposition of the stress fields from surface relaxation and reconstruction as well as the stacking fault stress fields, changes
the failure mechanism of the nanowires.»
