Conclusion
Informal Sitting Position Every individual occupies a temporary space arround him, which is called
personal territory described by Sommer 1969. And designer should keep
in mind this thing.
Under the application of 120 kg static loading the results are above.
The maximum stress developed is 408196864 N/m^2, which is
much more then the yield strength of the material, but it should not
be. And the result due to that is infront of us.
So, this chair failure was a result of a design defect and users’ using
