17. STRESS FAILURE
À pWe need to do an analysis of our designs for suitability. This involves looking at static forces in the design, and then analyzing the members to see if they will carry the prescribed loads.
Although static values are usually quite accurate, the failure load for a member is hard to predict accurately, and impossible to predict exactly. This is because we are subject to the effects of geometry, material properties, unexpected loads, etc.
