Lastbezogen

Lastbezogen is a German technical adjective meaning related to or dependent on a load. The term is formed from Last (load, burden) and bezogen (related to, referred to). In technical literature it describes properties, responses, or criteria that vary with the magnitude or pattern of the applied load. The form is commonly used in compound nouns, for example lastbezogene Spannungen (load-related stresses) or lastbezogene Verformungen (load-related deformations).

In practice, lastbezogen signals that a measurement, analysis, or design rule depends on loading conditions, and it is often contrasted with lastunabhängig (load-independent) or lastabhängig (load-dependent). It is used in fields such as structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science to specify how behavior changes with load history, magnitude, or direction. Examples include lastbezogene Ermüdung (load-dependent fatigue) or lastbezogene Verformung under a given load.

Translations into English include load-dependent and load-related. The term is mainly found in German-language technical texts and may vary in usage. Related concepts include Lastabhängigkeit (load dependency), Lastverlauf (load history), and Beanspruchung (loading or stress).
