Fatigue failure of a material results from ______________ stress?

Correct answer: C. Fluctuating

  • A. Tensile
  • B. Compressive
  • C. Fluctuating
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Fatigue failure develops under repeated or fluctuating stress, often at stress levels below the material's static strength. A constant tensile or compressive stress alone normally causes static failure or creep rather than fatigue.
