🔍 Key Concepts

• Ground tackle stress points where loads concentrate during anchoring and heaving in • How cyclic loading, bending, and twisting affect different parts of the anchor system • Typical weakest components in an anchor chain and connector system

💭 Think About

• Which component experiences the most combined motion: rotation, bending, and tension when the vessel swings at anchor? • Where in the ground tackle would corrosion, wear, and side‑loading be most likely to create hidden cracks? • Think about which part is designed mainly as a connector rather than a solid structural mass—does that affect where fractures start?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is most exposed to repeated twisting and angular misalignment • Consider which part has moving joints or pins rather than a single solid forging • Ask yourself which component is known in practice as a routine inspection and failure point on anchor systems
