Frazier's Law

Frazier’s Law states that the maximum sustainable tension in a material, such as a rope or cable, is determined by the weakest point within it. Essentially, the entire element can only handle a load equal to the strength of its most fragile part. If any section has a defect or defect, it becomes the limiting factor, and the overall load capacity must be reduced accordingly to avoid failure. This principle emphasizes the importance of quality and uniformity in materials used in load-bearing applications to ensure safety and reliability.
