Real-Time NDE of Steel Cable Using Elasto-Magnetic Sensors Installed in a Cable Climbing Robot [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC), 2011
Recently, the steel cable used infrastructures are improved with progress in construction technology. In particular, the steel cable in long span bridges such as cable stayed bridges and suspension bridges are critical members which suspend dead load due to the main girders and bridge floor slabs.
