Abstract
A handling tool includes a body having a high-stress location, a pocket formed in the high stress location, and a sensor adhered to a surface of the pocket and oriented along an axis of the body. The sensor is configured to measure at least one of stress, strain, load, and fatigue applied to the high-stress location and is at least partially covered by a protective coating having a surface profile that matches a surface profile of the high-stress location. The sensor comprises a transmitter/receiver unit configured to communicate measurement data with a feedback unit via wired or wireless communication.
