Questions and Answers

What is the primary cause of fatigue failure in materials?

  • Gross plastic deformation
  • High tensile strength
  • Repeated loading and unloading (correct)
  • Static load exceeding the material's strength
  • Which type of stress is required for fatigue failure to occur?

  • Part of the stress has to be tensile (correct)
  • Pure compressive stress
  • Symmetrical stress about a mean zero stress level
  • Asymmetric stress with maximum and minimum stresses
  • When does fatigue failure typically occur?

  • At low loads causing gross plastic deformation
  • After a lengthy period of repeated stress or strain cycling (correct)
  • At high loads exceeding the yield strength
  • During sudden and expected events
