Structural strength

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As structural strength is referred to in the Materials Science the determined fatigue strength of a component in its concrete shape.

In the fatigue test material parameters determined are valid only for smooth test bars. In order to obtain a statement about the load capacity of a specific component, samples with the shape of the component must be tested in a fatigue test. The fatigue strength determined in this way is known as the structural strength. This shows, for example, that a pipe is more resistant to bending than a solid rod with the same cross-sectional area.
