Which consequence results when differential expansion stresses exceed material strength in a bimetallic strip within a combustion engine's preheating system?

💡 Explanation

Sensor fatigue occurs because differential thermal expansion imposes cyclic stress, weakening metal via fatigue. Therefore sensor failure occurs, rather than engine optimization, or catalysis, because fatigue is a material property leading to cracking under cyclic stress.
