1.
2.
3.
A
Static loading.
Cyclic loading.
Shock loading.
1
Q
What is static loading?
A
Constant loading causing material failure overtime.
2
Q
What is cyclic loading?
A
Constantly varying dynamic loading which causes fatigue.
3
Q
What is shock loading?
A
High dynamic loads causing catastrophic failure.
