Which material risk increased when Royal Navy ships exceeded historical dimensions?

💡 Explanation

Transverse frame shear stress increased greatly impacting ship longevity, because larger vessels experienced disproportionately higher bending and shear stresses exceeding wood's structural strength. Therefore transverse frame shear is the relevant risk, rather than other material degradation limitations that occur irrespective of size.
