Design/Safety Factors

As a result of uncertainties in both measured mechanical properties and in-service

applied stresses, design or safe stresses are normally utilized for design purposes. For

ductile materials, safe stress is the ratio of the yield strength and the factor of safety.

IMPORTANT TERMS AND CONCEPTS

Anelasticity

Design stress

Ductility

Elastic deformation

Elastic recovery

Modulus of elasticity

Plastic deformation

Poisson’s ratio

Proportional limit

Relaxation modulus

Resilience

Safe stress

Shear
