The additional safety factor is to be given, to cater, for any
eventuality, to make it completely safe.
The main focus being that, the structure should not fail under any
known conditions of use.
 When failure takes place, we know the
‘stress’ was higher than its designed capability, indicating that the
external loading (which generated the ‘stress’) was higher than
what the material was designed for/could bear.
 When an analysis
of failure is done, it is found that the failure takes place due to one
or more of the following reasons:
• Circumstances under which the component/member is
required to function were not determined correctly, or
• The component was made to function beyond its designed
limits/envelope of use.
• Types and/or intensity of forces operating under the given
circumstances of use were not evaluated correctly.
• Material and/or size of member and/or composite selected
was not correct or calculated correctly to withstand the
estimated forces.
• The fatigue element (number of times the load would reverse
and the frequency) was estimated wrongly.
• The stress within the material is not released by keeping the
item in a no load condition for a period of designed time for
the cycle of reuse.
Though this is not supposed to be a lesson in engineering
design, let us understand the above concept of ‘stress’ as
applied to a human.
 In various situations we humans also
experience
various
external
forces
which
are
mental/emotional/energy related/physical in nature or a
combination of all of them, for example:
Dead Lines of time for completion of:
Defined work,
School admissions,
Studies/preparation for exams
Arrangement for marriage function
Arrangements for events, product launches, press insertions,
ad releases, etc. etc.
