In the design of machine members, it is necessary to understand the Safety factor (SF). It is also known as Factor of safety (FoS). It describes that the load carrying capacity of any designed member. This can be defined by the ratio of capacity to the duty. Make sense? Let’s get into the topic thoroughly. […]
What is a Bearing Stress? How a bolt can experience the Bearing failure?
When machine members fastened together with Riveted joints, cotter joints, knuckle joints etc. There will be a compressive stress produced at the surface of contact between the two machine members. This stress can be called as the Bearing Stress. Let’s see how a bolt can experience the bearing failure. Bearing stress can also be said as […]
What is Shear stress and Shear strain?
In a Machine, every component subjected to various forces. Due to these forces acting on the machine components, there are various types of stresses are induced. Where a simple stress is defined as the internal resistance force that opposes the external force per unit area. Where the Strain is defined as the deformation per unit length. […]
What is Young’s Modulus or Modulus of Elasticity?
Young’s Modulus is a mechanical property of the material where it can be called as modulus of Elasticity/Elastic Modulus. An English physician and physicist named Thomas Young described the elastic properties of materials. Young’s modulus can be defined as simply the stiffness of a solid material. When an external force acts upon a body, then the […]

In a Machine, every component subjected to various forces. Due to these forces acting on the machine components, there are various types of stresses are induced. Where a simple stress is defined as the internal resistance force that opposes the external force per unit area. Where the Strain is defined as the deformation per unit length. […]
