Question

Fatigue stresses will most likely destroy the material if the bending test is performed on them.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

I would like to ask this question from Aircraft Materials in chapter Testing Aircraft Materials of Aerospace Materials & Processes

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

To elaborate: The bending test being performed on the test specimen is to gauge the ductility of the material. Once the test is performed, if the specimen has passed the test, it means that the material is most likely not going to be destroyed due to fatigue stresses.
