Mind Map of Metal Fatigue Concepts

Structures are designed to withstand forces through their frames, shells, and combinations of the two. Forces can be external or internal and affect structures depending on their magnitude, direction, and application point. Successful structural design considers factors like load support, center of gravity, symmetry, stability of materials, and preventing failure from buckling, shearing, separating or deforming. Evaluation of structural design considers costs, benefits, reliability, effectiveness, efficiency, safety, and environmental impact.
