← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a turbine engine exceeds design speed?
A)Mechanical resonance causes blade fatigue✓
B)Thermal runaway enables shaft deformation
C)Material creep causes bearing failure
D)Fluid cavitation limits fuel delivery
💡 Explanation
Mechanical resonance causes blade fatigue when exceeding design speed because harmonic frequencies induce excessive vibration forces. These amplify stresses, therefore the answer is resonance fatigue rather than lower temperature creep, because thermal limits become relevant over longer durations.
