← HistoryWhich outcome results when longships encounter extreme wave-induced stress during North Atlantic voyages?
A)Planking fasteners experience fretting corrosion✓
B)Sails exhibit excessive billowing forces
C)Rope rigging undergoes plastic deformation
D)Rudder control suffers torsional buckling
💡 Explanation
Fretting corrosion occurs because small oscillating movements exacerbate corrosion at the planking fasteners. This causes material removal through mechanical wear and corrosion products, therefore weakening the joint rather than directly impacting the sails, rigging, or rudder.
