Assertion (A): A stringer run-out is a fatigue-critical detail.

Reason (R): The load the stringer carried must shear into the skin over a short length.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both statements are true and the second explains the first. The abrupt transfer produces a local stress peak that fatigue finds readily, which is why run-outs are tapered gradually and why they appear so often in service cracking reports.
