When you finish you will be able to
Name how a design can fail and how much margin it has before it fails.
What you learn
- Name the failure modes of an element and the mark each one leaves.
- Set the design load of an element from its use, with the origin of each number.
- Calculate the factor and the margin of safety, and write down which formula was used.
- Distinguish a test to failure from a proof test and say what each one shows.
- Redo the calculation of a real failure and write a calculation report with design load, margin and expected failure mode.
Who it is for
Young people aged 16 to 24 who already write the specification for a design and plan a test (courses “Designing to requirements” and “Experimenting with method”). Stage in the tree: competent. Examples from electrical engineering.
