Assertion (A): Aluminium airframe components are given a finite fatigue life rather than an endurance limit.

Reason (R): The aluminium S-N curve continues to fall rather than flattening to an asymptote.

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 are true and the second explains the first. Since no stress is safe indefinitely, an aluminium structure is quoted with a fatigue strength at a stated number of cycles and managed through inspection rather than declared immune.
