Methods for monitoring fatigue loads on aircraft structures are presented. As the actual service life deviates appreciably from design load spectrum assumptions, a reassessment of safe service life and inspection schedules are shown to be necessary. Simple counting accelerometer systems; multiparameter recording systems; and direct strain monitoring systems are discussed. Examples of combat aircraft and civil transport aircraft are presented. The interpretation of recorded loads in terms of accumulated fatigue damage is considered.
