ABSTRACT:
A load indicating device and a method of using a load indicating device for monitoring the deformation in and imparting torque to a load bearing member are disclosed and claimed. An ultrasonic transducer, grown on one surface of a load bearing member, such as a fastener, is used to determine the length, stress or other tensile load dependent characteristic of the member using ultrasonic techniques.
