← ScienceWhich consequence results when a pressure vessel’s eigenfunctions are improperly modeled?
A)Resonance induces catastrophic structural failure✓
B)Yield strength decreases unexpectedly rapidly
C)Increased material density at joints
D)Accelerated oxidation of the steel alloy
💡 Explanation
Improperly modeled eigenfunctions means the vessel's resonant frequencies are incorrect; exciting the system at these incorrect predicted frequencies induce 'oscillatory instability' causing resonance. Therefore, catastrophic structural failure occurs, rather than gradual yield decrease or material or chemical changes at joints because this is a vibrational effect.
