Why is it important?
From an environmental viewpoint, application of this factor would prevent an excessive use of material in a particular structural design, such as in transportation systems. Also, it assists to select the best design from a safety viewpoint.
Perspectives
It is my aim to increase the efficiency of design and improve safety in various structural systems such as cars, trains, ships, etc. This factor leads to a better understanding and appreciation for the correct choice of materials and energy absorbing systems which are used throughout the engineering field.
