Safety against displacement by turning is called stability of position; safety against displacement by sliding, stability of friction.

The condition of stiffness is that the strain or disfigurement shall not be greater than is consistent with the purposes of the structure; and the condition of strength is that the stress shall be within the limits of that which the material can bear with safety against breaking.

The ratio in which the utmost stress before breaking exceeds the safe working stress is called the factor of safety, and is determined empirically.
