From page 1... ...
Detection of wire breaks as they happen (acoustic monitoring) -- Test laboratories performing qualification fatigue tests of stay cables have long used this method to detect wire breaks in the cable specimens as they happen.
|
From page 2... ...
Cable force measurements (based on measurement of cable sag) -- Although the tension in a cable is related to the square of the fundamental frequency, it is also inversely proportional to the cable sag; therefore, measurements of the cable sag can also be used to estimate cable tension.
