Abstract
A monitoring apparatus for monitoring impending faults in the integrity of a component or structure in static or dynamic application. The apparatus includes a sealed cavity on or within the component or structure connected to a source of constant vacuum. The connection between the cavity and the source incorporates a device of high impedance fluid flow and a monitor for monitoring the change in pressure between the cavity and the source.
