👉 Sacrifice engineering refers to the strategic design and implementation of systems or components that are intentionally made to fail under specific conditions, thereby protecting the overall integrity and functionality of a larger system. This approach is often used in critical infrastructure, aerospace, and defense applications to mitigate risks associated with catastrophic failures. By incorporating sacrificial elements, engineers can absorb or contain damage, preventing it from spreading and ensuring the continued operation of the primary system. This method relies on a deep understanding of material properties, structural dynamics, and failure modes to create robust designs that prioritize safety and reliability.
