ABSTRACT:
A fatigue damage indicator includes a thin plate mounted between or integral with two members to which a stress is to be applied, the disposition of the two members being such that the thin plate is stressed in shear.
Slots extending in the direction of the applied stress may be provided to ensure that cracks formed by fatigue stress propagate in a desired direction and the crack propagation is designed to ensure that a part of the plate becomes detached or is bent substantially away.
