← HistoryWhich constraint increases stress concentration impacting longship hulls amidst heavy Atlantic waves?
A)Clinker planking stress distribution✓
B)Oak wood compressive stiffening
C)Tar sealant uniform expansion
D)Rope lashing impact absorption
💡 Explanation
Reduced hull integrity occurs on longships under stress because clinker planking relies on overlapping planks joined by rivets that create stress concentration; therefore, crack propagation accelerates rather than uniform loading, degrading structural strength.
