When the stresses are determined in an orthotropic material, then they are used to determine ____

a) Strains
b) Deformation
c) Factor of safety
d) Loads

Answer: c
Explanation: Factors of safety (FoS), is also known as safety factor (SF), is a term describing the load carrying capacity of a system beyond the expected or actual loads. Essentially, the factor of safety is how much stronger the system is than it needs to be for an intended load. After determining the stresses in orthotropic materials by using an appropriate failure theory we can find factor of safety.
