Which outcome accelerates fatigue fracture adjacent a fastener?

A)Galvanic corrosion weakens grain boundaries
B)Stress concentration exceeds material strength
C)Hydrogen embrittlement reduces ductility locally
D)Creep deformation redistributes stress unevenly

💡 Explanation

Stress concentration accelerates fatigue near holes or fasteners used in joining parts, because tensile loading amplifies at the geometric discontinuity; therefore cracks initiate rapidly rather than uniform damage, influenced by load and geometry under cyclic stress.
