Chapter 6: Failure Theories, Safety Factors, and Reliability

"Previous chapters have dealt with the determination of loads (Chapter 2), with the stresses and deflections caused by those loads (Chapters 4 and 5), and with the ability of representative materials to resist standard test loads (Chapter 3). The present chapter is concerned with (a) predicting the capability of materials to withstand the infinite combination of nonstandard loads to which they are subjected as fabricated machine and structural components and (2) the selection of appropriate safety factors to provide the required safety and reliability. As with the earlier chapters, the concern in this chapter is primarily with static loads."
