Questions and Answers

In dynamic loads, the stress intensity changes constantly but the direction of the stress remains constant.

False

Components subjected to dynamic loads experience cyclic or random stress.

True

The strength parameters determined from tensile, compression, and bending tests are useful for material selection and component dimensioning for dynamically loaded components.

False

Failure in application occurs when the applied load on the material causes permanent deformation.
