What is Fluctuating Load?

A fluctuating load is a varying force or stress applied to a material or structure that changes in magnitude and direction over time. These loads are common in applications like rotating machinery, bridges, and vehicles. They can cause fatigue in materials due to repeated cycles of loading and unloading, requiring careful design to ensure durability and prevent failure under such conditions.
