Define Factor of Safety
The ratio of a structure's absolute strength (structural capability) to actual applied load; this is a measure of the reliability of a particular design. This is a calculated value and is sometimes referred to, for the sake of clarity, as a realized factor of safety. A constant required value, imposed by law, standard, specification, contract or custom, to which a structure must conform or exceed. This can be referred to as a design factor, design factor of safety or required factor of safety.
How to Calculate Factor of Safety given Tensile Force on Bolt in Tension?
