Abstract
A fatigue monitoring system and method is disclosed in which a stream of data relating to the stresses experienced at a plurality of locations over the structure during operation is applied to a neural network trained to remove data stream values deemed to be in error. The data from the neural network is then processed to determine the fatigue life.
