A structural fuse is disclosed and configured to shear upon an application of a predetermined load and includes a plurality of elongate reinforcing elements in a metal matrix. The provision of a so-called metal matrix composite results in a fuse that is lighter in weight than a conventional metal pin and has improved fatigue properties and hence a longer operating life. The load (or range of loads) at which the fuse is arranged to shear can be engineered by careful arrangement of the orientation of the reinforcing elements, and by selecting the proportion of reinforcing elements in the matrix. Thus, a fuse having a narrower load range than hitherto achievable can be produced.
