Fatigue failure of a material may occur, when it is subjected to _____________ stress?

Correct answer: A. Fluctuating

  • A. Fluctuating
  • B. Tensile
  • C. Compressive
  • D. Torsion

Explanation

Fatigue results from repeated or fluctuating stresses, even when each individual stress is below the material's ultimate strength. A steady tensile or compressive stress alone does not normally produce fatigue failure.
