5. FA-FAT-005 — Fatigue, Creep, Cyclic Loading, Progressive Damage and Time-Dependent Failure

Description:

This Master Prompt investigates failures that develop through repeated loading, sustained loading, environmental exposure or their documented interaction. It connects service histories, crack-origin evidence, material condition, cyclic stress, time-dependent deformation and validated life-assessment methods. A central distinction is maintained between explaining why progressive failure occurred and predicting accurately when it will occur.
