| Zusammenfassung: | A method for monitoring structure liable to fatigue by sustaining loading, which may be repeated or cyclic, under which crack-like flaws may grow and lead to fatigue or fatigue-induced failure, comprises providing in or associated with the structure an initial flaw in a position from which a crack will grow, under the loading, in a predetermined manner depending upon the loading, and monitoring growth of the crack to determine the condition of the structure. Apparatus for the same includes a tab-like gauge or other appendage which has a flaw as described, preferably itself made by a fatiguing process. |
