Which navigational outcome arises from limitations in 18th-century shipwright's understanding of material fatigue in timbers?

💡 Explanation

Increased incidence of structural failings occur because limitations regarding material fatigue caused hull weakening when stresses surpass the timbers predicted yield strength, therefore, hull splitting increased after prolonged cyclical wave action forces, rather than yielding predictable stress fracture.
