Failure Analysis of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

This paper is described on the source page as a 21-page booklet summarizing the author's experience performing failure analysis on aluminum electrolytic capacitors over a fifteen-year period. It covers failure mechanisms seen in these capacitors and the failure-analysis techniques used to identify the failures. The source page also notes that the document includes figures, equations, and graphs. That makes it a deeper stand-alone technical reference rather than a short overview paper.
