FACTOR OF SAFETY
- It is the ratio of ultimate stress to the working stress.
- In the ductile materials, generally yield point is clearly defined. If we want to calculate factor of safety then ratio of yield stress to the working stress is factor of safety.
- In brittle materials, yield point is not calculated or not defined, hence ratio of ultimate stress to working or permissible stress is called as factor of safety.
