If, in addition, the beam is subjected to a bending load, a bending stress, sigma b, will also occur at the outer fibers of the beam. The maximum stress at the outer fibers of the beam will be Assume that and are independent and The rod is made of a steel with MPa. Assuming the strength and load have normal distributions, determine the design factor and the reliability guarding against yielding.
