The present invention provides a monitoring device for detecting stresses and strains in structural components and a method of using the monitoring device. The monitoring device comprises a base material, one or more attachment points for attaching the monitoring device to a structure to be monitored, a detection zone on the monitoring device, and a means for detecting the presence of stress and strain in the detection zone. The dimensions and material of the monitoring device are chosen such that a predetermined level of strain transmitted to the monitoring device from the structure will result in a known level of stress and strain in the detection zone. Detection of stress and strain in the detection zone can be correlated to a level of stress and strain experienced by the structure at the point of attachment of the monitoring device.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de surveillance pour la détection de contraintes et de déformations sur des éléments de structure, ainsi qu'une méthode d'utilisation dudit dispositif. Le dispositif de surveillance comprend un matériau de base, un ou plusieurs points permettant la fixation du dispositif sur une structure devant être surveillée, une zone de détection sur le dispositif de surveillance et une méthode de détection la présence de contraintes et de déformations dans la zone de détection. Les dimensions et le matériau du dispositif de surveillance sont choisis de telle sorte qu'un niveau prédéterminé de contrainte transmis au dispositif de surveillance par la structure entraîne un niveau connu de contrainte et de déformation dans la zone de détection. La détection des contraintes et des déformations dans la zone de détection peut être comparée à un niveau correspondant de contraintes et de déformations que subit la structure au niveau du point de fixation du dispositif de surveillance.
