Abstract

Recent developments in magnetostrictive sensor (MsS) technology and its application to nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and monitoring of steel strands and cables are described. Areas of development include sensor design, instrumentation, signal processing, and NDE techniques. Examples of MsS application to NDE of steel strands are given, including monitoring of wire fracture events, inspection for fractured wires, and measurement of the applied load
