Which outcome from cyclic stress occurs when dislocations move through aluminum crystal grains?

💡 Explanation

Cyclic stress causes work-hardening because dislocation pile-up hinders further plastic deformation; the mechanism is dislocation tangling. Therefore work-hardening occurs rather than increased resonant frequency because that would involve vibration, under different conditions.
