Lower-bound knockdown factor
Lower-bound knockdown factor
(OP)
Hello, can anyone shed a light on what a lower-bound knockdown factor is (in context of structural design)? (or an "upper-bound factor" for that matter)
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Closest thing that comes to mind is a push-over analysis.
Can you provide some more context?

IE, it doesn't relate to knocking anything over or down, more like a safety factor, etc.

Yes, I've seen it called that in texts on buckling of shells as well. And if that is what he is getting at.....that number can really vary based on geometry, loading, etc. It needs to come from code (like ASME). Initial imperfections can be a killer for shell buckling.
