= Stress–strength analysis
{wiki=Stress–strength_analysis}
Stress-strength analysis is a reliability assessment method used in engineering and material science to determine the likelihood that a given system or component will function successfully under expected operating conditions. The fundamental idea behind stress-strength analysis is to compare the applied stress (external forces acting on a component) with the strength of the material (its capacity to withstand those forces without failing). \#\#\# Key Concepts 1. **Stress (S)**: This refers to the internal forces experienced by a material when it is subjected to external loads.
