≈ 32 minFailure Modes and Safety Factors
Components may yield, fracture, buckle, fatigue or creep. A safety factor compares capacity with expected demand while uncertainty is managed explicitly.
Core checkpoint: Choose the safety factor and failure model from consequences, variability and standards.
