Goodman Relation

The Goodman relation is a way to predict how the strength of a material changes when it's subjected to different levels of stress and temperature. It helps engineers understand how close a material is to its breaking point under varying conditions. By combining the material's strength at room temperature with its behavior at high temperature, the relation provides a correction factor to estimate what the material’s strength would be under real operating conditions. This ensures safe design and prevents failure by accounting for the combined effects of heat and stress on the material’s integrity.
