Mechanical strength is impracticable or would cause ________
Direct Answer
Option C: excessive local stresses
When mechanical strength is insufficient or design geometry is complex, the system may be subjected to excessive local stresses. These stress concentrations can lead to fatigue cracking or structural failure, necessitating careful design and stress analysis to ensure the containment system remains safe throughout its operational service life.
