← TechnologyWhich consequence results when bonded brakes overheat on landing?
A)Thermal runaway initiates self-sustaining oxidation✓
B)Creep occurs at attachment points
C)Shear stress induces brittle fracture
D)Intergranular corrosion accelerates fatigue
💡 Explanation
When overheated, a bonded brake assembly can experience thermal runaway because exceeding the adhesive's glass transition temperature allows rapid oxidation due to increased brake surface area; therefore, catastrophic structural failure happens rather than creep or intergranular corrosion that are slower processes.
