Is it true that a screw can show signs of fatigue after being used repeatedly for loads significantly lower than its maximum weight capacity?
Yes. Evidence from metallurgical and mechanical studies on fasteners and cyclic loading confirms that repetitive usage at loads significantly below a screw or bolt's maximum capacity can induce fatigue failure over time.
