Which risk increases when a turbine blade approaches resonant frequency?

A)Accelerated fatigue crack propagation
B)Increased creep rate tendency
C)Elevated surface oxidation events
D)Decreased material yield strength

💡 Explanation

Accelerated fatigue crack propagation occurs because resonance amplifies vibrational stresses causing increased fatigue. The blade experiences excessive oscillation due to the frequency matching natural modes causing fatigue, therefore this explains the fatigue risk rather than alternative oxidation or yield strength changes.
