  2. Calculating Minimum Shaft Diameter: Factor of Safety vs Maximum...

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/calculating-minimum-shaft-diameter-factor-of...

    The factor of safety is applied to the stress, but we reduce the working or maximum stress by this factor, ie use a stress of 80/1.5 (80 divided by 1.5). This is important. We do not design for a higher stress (1.5 x 80) than we know the material will support - we design for a lower stress and the factor of safety is the difference.

  3. Calculating Shear Stress & Safety Factor for Double Shear Pins

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/calculating-shear-stress-safety-factor-for...

    To calculate the safety factor for double shear pins, you need to know the maximum allowable shear stress for the material and the expected shear stress calculated in the previous step. The formula for safety factor is: Safety Factor = Maximum Allowable Shear Stress / Expected Shear Stress. A safety factor of 1 or higher indicates that the ...

  4. Factor of Safety: Alum. & Rivets - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/factor-of-safety-alum-rivets.200071

    The factor of safety for aluminum and rivets can be affected by factors such as the quality of the materials, the design and construction of the structure, and the environmental conditions. It is important to consider these factors when determining the appropriate factor of safety for a specific application.

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/factor-of-safety-for-combined-direct-and-shear...

    The factor of safety for combined direct and shear loading is calculated by dividing the ultimate strength of the structure by the expected load. The ultimate strength can be determined through testing or analysis, and the expected load can be determined based on the design requirements and external forces that the structure will experience.

    Factor Of Safety (FOS) is important in Bolt Shear problem because it ensures that the bolted joint can withstand the applied load without failure. It also takes into account any uncertainties in the design, material properties, and external factors, providing an additional safety margin. How is Factor Of Safety (FOS) calculated in Bolt Shear ...

    The initial calculation for Tresca gives a safety factor of 4.8, but after further discussion and clarification, it is found that the principal stresses for pure shear are 50, 0, and -50. Using these values, the safety factors are recalculated to be 2.4 for Tresca and 2.77 for von Mises. It is noted that the √3 in
