Vibrations weakening spaceship

+0
−0

I have a scenario where a spaceship has been badly damaged and now the normal vibrations of the power supply are becoming amplified through the damaged hull, and threatening to tear the ship apart.

Here comes the question part. If the vibrations are reflecting internally within the structure and creating interference patterns, could the actual molecular structure of the material itself be weakened?

(I have been thinking of using steel, but can switch to different materials if needed.)
