what are sacrficial parts
weaker parts of the product designed to fail first to protect the more importnant parts
how can structural intergrity be achieved
identifying where the product is likely to eb failed and reinforcing or adding sacrficial parts
processes that give struct intergity
triangulation
material refinrocement
Material stiffening
examples fo material reinforcement
making products thicker/ ahve more material in weakpoints, eg, corener protectors
what is material stiffening
adding things such as folds or ribs ro webs to increase rigidity
