Dutch term or phrase: faalvorm / faaleffect / faalwijze
The whole sentence: Het oorzakelijk verband tussen de faalvorm en het faaleffect bij gebeurtenissen noemt men de faalwijze van een object.

I translated "faalvorm" as "failure mode" and "faaleffect" as "failure effect". I can't find a translation for "faalwijze" anywhere.
