Factor of safety in mechanical Engineering, civil Engineering and medical life Projects

Abstract

This paper clarifies the concepts of engineering materials strengths based on factors of safety in the fields of mechanical engineering machine components, civil structural components, and medical human life beings, as well as human body parts such as the kidney,, heart, etc. If there is a there is a high factor of safety, then the strength of the member is high for all types of working loading conditions. A generally high FOS yields a lot of life for that particular member. It is so tedious to give all people high FOS components because of the high of the high material cost and the non-availability of the ingredient parts composition. That’s why only a few people will be getting high FOS components, just like in desi and hybrid technology. In medical safety for risk avoiding  as longer term of living of any human body parts. Always small importance parts will be FOS=1 and very essential important parts will be FOS=10 and above. Without FOS, the components are also designed, but strain is to be considered, which has the least strength. Generally, FOS is the best solution because it is universal.
