Concept
A database management system (DBMS) is software that facilitates the creation, manipulation, and administration of databases, enabling users to store, retrieve, and manage data efficiently. It ensures data integrity, security, and consistency while supporting concurrent access and complex queries, making it essential for modern data-driven applications.
Relevant Fields:
Concept
Miner's Rule is a method used in fatigue analysis to predict the life of a material subject to variable amplitude loading by summing the damage fractions incurred during each load cycle. It assumes that the total damage is equal to the sum of the individual damages and failure occurs when this sum reaches a critical value, typically one.
Concept
Metal fatigue is a progressive and localized structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic loading, leading to the formation of cracks and eventual failure. It is critical in engineering and materials science because it can cause catastrophic failures in structures and components if not properly managed through design and maintenance.
