Which risk increases within aircraft fuel bladders after repeated flexing?

💡 Explanation

Fatigue cracking increases after flexing due to mechanochemical degradation. This breaks down covalent bonds within the bladder's polymer chains, therefore, leading to fuel leaks, rather than increased crosslinking or van der Waals forces which stiffen the polymer.
