Ohutustekijät
Ohutustekijät, or safety factors, are a fundamental concept in engineering and design. They represent a multiplier applied to calculated loads or stresses to ensure a structure or component can withstand conditions beyond its expected operational limits. The primary purpose of an ohutustekijä is to account for uncertainties in design, manufacturing, and material properties, as well as unpredictable environmental factors or operational abuses.
These factors are determined based on the criticality of the application, the reliability of the material,
The selection of an appropriate ohutustekijä involves a careful balance. Too low a factor can lead to
