Vibration of metal parts cause them to crack by a process known as Fatigue. Correctly designed CLD's have been found to be a good method of extending the Fatigue life of aircraft and space structures such as wings, struts, ribs, stringers, blades and pipes.

Wherever very light materials are subjected to vibration CLD's and laminated metals offer a unique and simple way to extend their life

CLD's can easily be applied to structures where high vibrational stresses are encountered.

CLD's attached to the vane of an aircraft engine reduce fatigue cracking and extend the life of the vane.

CLD's are often used on Fuselarge and wing structural parts as well as in many of the electronic components.
