5. Factor of safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_of_safety

   In the case of a margin of 0, the part is at exactly the required strength (the safety factor would equal the design factor). If there is a part with a required design factor of 3 and a margin of 1, the part would have a safety factor of 6 (capable of supporting two loads equal to its design factor of 3, supporting six times the design load ...
