Cables are critical and vulnerable components of long-span cable-supported bridges,
providing essential support and integrity to ensure bridge safety. Bridge cables are …

To establish a rigorous mathematical foundation for a recently developed tension
determination method incorporating the mode shape functions, the frequency equations and …

The boundary conditions of the cable in a bridge are generally in the form of imperfect
hinged or fixed ends rather than idealized clamped or pinned ends due to the effects of …

Considering the specific arrangement of boundary constraints for the suspenders of arch
bridge, this research extends a recently developed method to carry out the determination of …

This study proposed an analytical model to characterize in-plane free vibration of a cable
considering sags, inclined angles, and non-negligible bending stiffness to enhance the …

Efficient force identification of bridge cables is important to the performance evaluation of
cable-supported bridges. For this purpose, sensors are conventionally installed on the …

This paper develops a method for precisely determining the tension of an inclined cable with
unknown boundary conditions. First, the nonlinear motion equation of an inclined cable is …

Cables or suspenders are the critical force‐transmitting components of cable‐supported
bridges, and their timely tension monitoring is consequently the most important issue in the …

To apply the tension estimation method based on effective vibration lengths, it has been
clarified that the installation of at least one sensor near the high end of a stay cable or a …

Assuming the distance between two nodal points of a specific cable vibration mode as the
effective length of a pinned–pinned cable, mode shape–aided cable tension estimation …
