    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

  3. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Fatigue strength is a more complex measure of the strength of a material that considers several loading episodes in the service period of an object, [6] and is usually more difficult to assess than the static strength measures. Fatigue strength is quoted here as a simple range (=).

  4. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    The analysis allows for a rational method of defining the material strength and results in a value less than, for example, 99.99% of the values from samples tested. By that method, in a sense, a separate factor of safety has been applied over and above the design factor of safety applied to a particular design that uses said material.

  5. Taguchi methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taguchi_methods

    Taguchi realized that the best opportunity to eliminate variation of the final product quality is during the design of a product and its manufacturing process. Consequently, he developed a strategy for quality engineering that can be used in both contexts. The process has three stages: System design; Parameter (measure) design; Tolerance design

  6. Dependent and independent variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_and_independent...

    Here the independent variable is the dose and the dependent variable is the frequency/intensity of symptoms. Effect of temperature on pigmentation: In measuring the amount of color removed from beetroot samples at different temperatures, temperature is the independent variable and amount of pigment removed is the dependent variable.

  7. Repeated measures design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeated_measures_design

    The independent variable is the time (Levels: Time 1, Time 2, Time 3, Time 4) that someone took the measure, and the dependent variable is the happiness measure score. Example participant happiness scores are provided for 3 participants for each time or level of the independent variable. Repeated measures analysis of variance (rANOVA) is a ...

  8. Research design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_design

    Research design refers to the overall strategy utilized to answer research questions. A research design typically outlines the theories and models underlying a project; the research question(s) of a project; a strategy for gathering data and information; and a strategy for producing answers from the data.

  9. Validity (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Validity_(statistics)

    Construct validity refers to the extent to which operationalizations of a construct (e.g., practical tests developed from a theory) measure a construct as defined by a theory. It subsumes all other types of validity. For example, the extent to which a test measures intelligence is a question of construct validity.
