Which of the following is not a characteristic observed in material failure by fatigue fracture ?

Correct answer: B. Initiation of crack from below the surface does not occur

  • A. Plastic deformation of material does not occur
  • B. Initiation of crack from below the surface does not occur
  • C. Initiation of crack occurs on the surface of the machine part
  • D. Presence of both rough & smooth zone with conchoidal markings in smooth zone of the

Explanation

Fatigue cracks commonly start at the surface, but subsurface initiation can occur at inclusions or other internal defects. Thus, saying that subsurface crack initiation does not occur is not a valid general characteristic of fatigue failure.
