Safety factor: How do I calculate that?

This article talks explains the concept of safety factor and how it is calculated. It’s a fundamental notion that every mechanical engineer have to understand well. How do I know if the design of my part is « safe » enough? That’s a difficult question that many designers asked themselves. One of the potential answers involves the […]
