Wire rope inspection by nondestructive testing methods, sensors and signal processing
techniques are mainly reviewed in this paper. Owing to the difference of physical …

This paper presents an overview of currently available methods for monitoring prestressing
forces in prestressed concrete structure. Structural health monitoring has become an …

The goal of this paper is to theoretically investigate the propagation of elastic waves in
helical waveguides. In the context of non-destructive evaluation for structural health …

Elastic guided waves have some potential for non-destructive inspection of civil engineering
multi-wire steel cables. However, wave propagation inside such structures is not yet fully …

In this study an inverse procedure based on the propagation of guided ultrasonic waves is
proposed for the characterization of the elastic material constants of plates. The procedure …

Multiwire cables are widely used in engineering structures, even though there is a growing
concern about the presence of environmental degradation, random overloads, and …

The configuration of magnetostrictive transducers for both transmitter and receiver was
optimized for the generation and reception of ultrasonic longitudinal guided waves in seven …

Multi-wire strands are widely used in civil structures as tensioning members in prestressed
concrete, cable-stayed and suspension bridges. In recent years, various researchers …

Wire rope is a necessary tool in practical applications especially in crane, elevator and
bridge construction, which plays an important role in the national economy and daily life …

Steel multi-wire cables are widely employed in civil engineering. They are usually made of a
straight core and one layer of helical wires. In order to detect material degradation …
