A chart is captioned "Table 2. Stress/Failure Analysis Outline".  A total
of six steps are identified in the chart used in performing stress/failure
analysis.  The steps include requirements and loads determination (including
dynamic loads, static (or equivalent static) loads, strength, displacement,
and cyclic life), material characterization (including structural goals
versus material parameters), structural modeling (including discretized
numerical model (e.g., finite element model) and analytical (closed form)
solution of idealized geometry and loading), determination of structural
response (including linear/non-linear, resonant frequency check if linear,
forced dynamic response if required, deformations, internal forces and
stresses), failure modes check (including margin of safety for ultimate
failure, yielding, instability, etc. and safe life for fracture if
applicable), optimization and redesign if necessary, and documentation.
