Safety factor and fatigue life – effective design measures

To ensure the structure’s ability to carry a load, safety factor and fatigue life are often calculated using detailed analyses, especially when comprehensive testing is costly and time-consuming or impractical. This note will provide a typical example of how the safety factor and fatigue life of a product are effectively calculated using CAE approaches and it will show the design can be improved.
