The term load can include:
-a transverse force in the case of a beam.
-a longitudinal compressive force in a column.
-a torque in the case of a shaft.
-a pressure in a fluid containment vessel.

There are two completely different natures of loading:= the actual load is the load exerted on the component= the maximum load is the largest load that the component canwithstand without failure.
Actual and Maximum Loading Conditions
The maximum load is a property of the component, afunction of its dimensions and material.
There are many reasons why the actual load on a particularcomponent at a particular time can differ from the nominal actualvalue, due to:=the variability of loading (eg. in practice the mass of a "ten tontruck" will depend on the load it is carrying),=dynamic or shock effects eg. if a weight W is dropped from aheight h onto an elastic component.
SJE Part 02 Saf. Fac. & Str. Con. ٤
A component is safe only if the actual load applied to thecomponent does not exceed the component's maximumsustainable load.
Degree of Safety
The degree of safety is usually expressed by the safetyfactor, n :-n = maximum load / actual load = Fmax /F
if n = 1 then the component is on the point of failure.if n < 1 then the component is in a failed state.if n > 1 then the component is safe.
A higher value of the safety factor seems to
indicate a safer component.

When an assemblage of components is
subjected to a single load, the assembly's
safety factor is the smallest of the
component safety factors.

The bar's cross-sectional area is A, it is subjected to a
tensile force P and the strength of its material is σ - whichmay be the ultimate if fracture is important, or the yield ifthe material is ductile and excessive deformation isrelevant.
Assuming uniform stress across the cross-section,the maximum load that the component can sustain occurs
when the stress σ reaches the material strength, and isPmax = A . σσσσ
this expression leads to the design equation for directnormal stress:
n P = A . σσσσ

n P = A . σσσσ
The equation may be used either:
1. For analysis to determine the degree of safety
n = A .σσσσ / P for given σ, A, P, or
2. For synthesis (design) to estimate the
dimensions required A => n P/ σσσσ to withstand a
given P with material of strength σ and specified
degree of safety n.

Used with better-known materials that are to be used in uncertain
environments or subject to uncertain stresses.

The factors established in items 1 to 6 are acceptable but must be
applied to the endurance limit (ie. a fatigue
strength) rather than to the yield strength of the material.
Repeated

The factors given in items 3 to 6 are acceptable, but an impact
factor (dynamic magnification factor) should be included.
Impact loads8
The ultimate strength is used as the theoretical maximum, the
factors presented in items 1 to 6 should be approximately doubled.

Where higher factors might appear desirable, a more thorough
analysis of the problem should be undertaken before deciding on
their use.

Analysis for Estimating the Factor of Safety
1. Find the loads on the component.
2. Find the stress components at the element in
question by the use of free bodies.
(tension, compression, shear, bending and torsion)
3. Resolution of the stress components into principal stresses, either analytically or by Mohr's circle.

The flow analogy is useful when visualizing how
stress is transmitted through a loaded component.
In the analogy, lines of force (or force paths) in the
component are likened to streamlines in a fluid
channel whose shape is similar to that of the
component.
SJE Part 02 Saf. Fac. & Str. Con. ١٦
-Stresses are low where the streamlines are widely spaced.-Stresses are high where the streamlines are gathered together due to geometric shape variations - the more sudden these variations, the higher the local stresses.
This last is known as stress concentration.
