Effect of Tensile Load for Detecting Broken Wires of Parallel Wire Cable Based on Guided Waves

Article Preview

Abstract:

Condition assessment of cables has gained more attention for the bridge safety. The cable is under tensile load in service. The effect of tensile load for detecting broken wires on parallel wire cable based on guided waves is investigated. The sample cable with broken wires under several levels of tensile load is detected using guided waves based on the magnetostrictive effect. The amplitude of flaw echo increases monotonically with the increasing of tension. The results indicate that the tensile load brings benefit for detecting broken wires in the parallel wire cable.
