Factor of safety is the ratio of the maximum stress a material can withstand to the actual stress it is subjected to.

• It is a measure of how much stronger a material is than the maximum stress it will encounter.

• It is calculated by dividing the maximum stress a material can withstand by the actual stress it is subjected to.

• A factor of safety greater than 1 indicates that the material is stronger than the maximum stress i...read more

Factor of safety differs in civil and mechanical engineering contexts

• In civil engineering, factor of safety is used to ensure the safety of structures and materials under loads and stresses

• In mechanical engineering, factor of safety is used to ensure the safety of mechanical components and systems under loads and stresses

• Civil engineering typically uses a higher factor of safety than mechanical engineering

• For example, ...read more

Universal testing machine is used to test the strength and durability of materials.

Stress strain curve for mild steel shows the relationship between stress and strain during deformation.

• Initially, stress and strain are proportional to each other in the elastic region.

• Beyond the elastic limit, plastic deformation occurs and stress increases while strain also increases.

• The point of maximum stress is the ultimate tensile strength.

• The point of fracture is the breaking stress.

• The area under the curve repr...read more
