ABSTRACT:
A fatigue detector for detecting potential fatigue failure of a bolster and/or side frames of a railway car truck. The fatigue detector comprises one or more redundant designed members located in areas of critical stress loadings of the truck, wherein the fatigue detectors are structured to fail under a stress loading less than that causing the failure of the bolster and/or side frames in which they are located. The fatigue detector is located in an opening so as to be easily inspected visually to determine its condition and particularly whether or not it has failed.
