← ScienceWhich outcome results when exceeding the turbine blade's creep limit in a jet engine?
A)Decreased compressor stall margin results
B)Uncontrolled increase in blade resonance develops
C)Progressive elongation and deformation occur✓
D)Sudden embrittlement and fracture happen
💡 Explanation
Exceeding a jet turbine's creep limit leads to progressive deformation because creep is temperature and stress-dependent plastic deformation; therefore, the blades elongate and deform rather than embrittle, since resonance or stall isn't directly caused this failure.
