Abstract

The paper presents a study of the relation between safety factors corresponding to different failure modes in a mechanical system. The failure modes considered are displacement exceedance, yielding and buckling. A link between the safety factors is found using the reliability analysis. In particular, by postulating equal reliability against the considered failure modes, we derive the relation between the safety factors in three typical engineering examples. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
