Mechanisms¶
- Tear-Stop or Relief Cut
- The same logic reappears in metal: when a fatigue crack is found in an aluminum panel, a technician drills a clean round hole right at the crack tip, replacing the razor-sharp tip — where stress concentrates almost without limit — with a finite-radius hole that spreads the load
This sourceFAA repair guidance explains that a small hole drilled at a crack end distributes the concentrated strain over a wider area.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
