Assertion (A): Widespread fatigue damage undermines the fail-safe philosophy.

Reason (R): Fail-safe design assumes an alternative load path remains intact when one member cracks.

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. If many similar details crack at once the alternative paths are cracking too, and the linking of adjacent cracks can produce a failure far larger than any single-crack analysis predicted.
