Question:

A polymer component that needs to maintain a stress level above 10 MPa for proper functioning of an assembly is scheduled to be replaced every two years as preventative maintenance. If the initial stress was 18 MPa and dropped to 15 MPa after one year of operation (assuming constant strain), will the part replacement under the specified preventative schedule successfully prevent a failure?
