These cyclic loads initiate cracks and cause them to grow.

The heavy load was causing some slippage of the engine's driving wheels on the rail.

However, a load on an infinitely small point would cause infinitely high contact pressure.

It is a region in which a small load causes a relatively large displacement.

For instance, carrying excessive loads may cause stunt development.
