In pietra dura of Mughal architecture, which failure in marble panels results owing to differential rates of thermal expansion?

💡 Explanation

Detachment of assembled pietra dura inlay occurs; differential thermal expansion generates internal shear stress exceeding bonding strength. This is because each material expands at different rates, therefore adhesive fails, rather than uniform movement observed in monolithic materials.
