Re: Fender stress cracks return
Wow -- I really appreciate all of the factual comments. I think that what I ought to do is have the engineering analysis guys upstairs model the fender area, assume some combined loading, assume a yield and tensile strength for the fiberglass, consider the effects of aging, add stress concentrations, perform a finite element analysis and viola- the answer as to why it cracked. I'm guessing that $60K ought to do it.
