Assertion (A): Fretting can cut a joint's fatigue strength by half or more.

Reason (R): Micro-slip between clamped surfaces damages them and creates early initiation sites.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: C

Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. Lap joints and bolted fittings are the usual locations, and the remedy is to reduce the slip through clamping or to protect the interface with a coating or shim.
