In such countries, the focus tends to be on ensuring equal opportunity and, for example, targeted advertising campaigns to encourage ethnic minority candidates to join ...

  3. Factor of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_of_safety

    For a successful design, the realized safety factor must always equal or exceed the design safety factor so that the margin of safety is greater than or equal to zero. The margin of safety is sometimes, but infrequently, used as a percentage, i.e., a 0.50 MS is equivalent to a 50% MS.

  4. Permissible stress design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissible_stress_design

    Permissible stress design is a design philosophy used by mechanical engineers and civil engineers. [1] [2] The civil designer ensures that the stresses developed in a structure due to service loads do not exceed the elastic limit. This limit is usually determined by ensuring that stresses remain within the limits through the use of factors of ...

    Thus is the shear stress acting on the face with normal vector in the positive direction of the -axis, and in the positive direction of the -axis. In the physical-space sign convention, positive normal stresses are outward to the plane of action (tension), and negative normal stresses are inward to the plane of action (compression) (Figure 5).

    This type of stress may be called (simple) normal stress or uniaxial stress; specifically, (uniaxial, simple, etc.) tensile stress. [13] If the load is compression on the bar, rather than stretching it, the analysis is the same except that the force F and the stress change sign, and the stress is called compressive stress.
