Which outcome occurs when increased heat impacts pistons in a jet engine?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated fatigue crack propagation results from thermal stress cycles. Repeated heating/cooling weakens the material via thermal creep which increases the **cyclic stress intensity factor** in the metal, because fatigue crack growth accelerates depending temperature; therefore leading to cracks rather than efficiency or thermal protection.
