Bridge cables, which serve as critical load-bearing components in cable-supported bridges, are highly susceptible to broken wires caused by corrosion and fatigue. Accurate quantitative evaluation of this type of damage is essential to ensure structural safety. This study presents a novel quantitative evaluation method for identifying the number of broken wires by employing the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signal in three-dimensional (3D) space. The method first acquires the 3D spatial magnetic leakage field and generates 3D arrays of MFL signals for computational analysis. It then extracts two categories of features. The first is the global feature, defined as the L1 norm distance (L1D) between the measured 3D spatial MFL signal and the defect-free reference signal. The second is the local feature, consisting of multi-scale waveform features organized as a feature array. The multi-scale waveform feature arrays are compressed using Multilinear Principal Component Analysis (MPCA) to reduce computational redundancy. The compressed feature arrays are then introduced into the Elastic Net-Constrained Regression (ENCR) model to predict defect width. The number of broken wires is ultimately calculated as the ratio of the total L1D value to the L1D value corresponding to the predicted width of a single wire. For a given broken wire width, the L1D demonstrates linear superposition with respect to the number of broken wires, with goodness-of-fit values exceeding 0.999, enabling proportional quantification. Validation through simulations and experiments on PES7-127 cables (127 wires of 7 mm diameter) confirms the method's effectiveness. The simulations achieved 100 % accuracy in counting broken wires across varying widths and distributions, while experimental results verified 100 % quantification accuracy (within a tolerance of +/- 1 wire) for defects involving <= 4 broken wires. This performance is obtained using a training dataset of only 30 samples. This study provides a practical and efficient approach for bridge cable assessment.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) of cable-supported bridges is crucial for ensuring their safe and reliable operation. However, detecting internal broken wires using traditional Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) testing remains a challenge due to the low Signal-to-Background Ratio (SBR). To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel sensor composed of multilayer-arranged Hall elements (MAHE) based on the Radial Differential Magnetic Flux Leakage (RDMFL) principle, aiming for effective detection of broken wires at various depths within the cable. The RDMFL method detects damage by superimposing the differences in magnetic flux density measured at multiple radial points and identifying local peaks in the combined signals. A theoretical expression for the RDMFL signal is derived, and the influence of MAHE sensor structural parameters on both SBR and amplitude enhancement of broken wire signals is analyzed. Finite element simulations are used to verify performance improvements and identify the optimal structural parameters. Experimental results on a cable specimen demonstrated that the MAHE sensor-equipped testing system effectively detected single broken wires positioned in layers 1-7 of a PES7-127 specification cable (comprising 127 steel wires, each with a 7 mm diameter). Meanwhile, a preliminary image of all broken wires within the cable specimen was generated, providing a clear magnetic field visualization of the damages. Finally, the detection capability of the MAHE sensor was analyzed using a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, and the optimized threshold for identifying broken wires was determined.
Guided wave based non-destructive testing technique has been widely used in many engineering structures. Accurate characterization of defects by extracting defect-related features from the guided wave testing signals is very important for the condition evaluation of the tested specimen. In this paper, a topological feature for defect characterization is extracted from the topological domain of the guided wave testing signal. Specifically, the topological feature is extracted from the 2-dimensional phase space of the testing signal based on persistent homology. The steel wire notch experiments show that there is an exponential relationship between the topological feature and the cross sectional area loss ratio of the steel wire, and the goodness of fit is 0.9962. This paper confirmed that the persistent homology is a useful tool to analyze guided wave testing signals to investigate the defect characterization.
Corrosion of steel wires in cables is a frequent occurrence and is a major factor affecting the durability and safety of cables. Magnetostrictive guided waves have been employed to detect steel wire corrosion. However, due to the complexity of the geometry of the corrosion area, it is difficult to interpret the magnetostrictive guided wave testing signals. Hence, extracting features from testing signals to characterize the corrosion condition is a great challenge. This study proposes a topological feature for corrosion characterization of steel wire, which is extracted from the two-dimensional point cloud with optimal geometry structure of the testing signal based on persistent homology theory. Corrosion experiments were carried out on 30 galvanized steel wires. The experimental results indicate that the topological feature increases roughly linearly with the corrosion depth. Furthermore, compared to other features obtained from the time domain, frequency domain, and joint time–frequency domain, this topological feature can reflect the progression of corrosion more accurately.
Multi-wire cables are widely used in suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges as primary load bearing structural elements. Broken Wires in cables can lead to catastrophic accidents such as bridge collapse. Magnetostrictive guided wave testing technology has been employed to detect the broken wire defects in multi-wire cables, and the defect size is estimated by analyzing the defect echo signals. However, there are many studies on the guided wave testing for the seven-wire steel strands but fewer for the bridge cables which have a large number of wires. Moreover, the relationship between the guided wave testing signal features and the defect size of multi-wire structures is imprecise, which means the defect size estimated by the features may deviate significantly from the real defect size. In this paper, large-scale topological features are extracted by using persistent homology from the dynamical reconstruction topology of the guided wave testing signals to characterize broken wire defects in the bridge cable. The broken wire experiments were performed on a 61-wire cable. The experimental results show a good linear relationship (the goodness of fit 0.9946) between the large-scale topological features and the number of broken wires in the cable. It indicates that it is feasible to extract topological features from the topological domain of the testing signals to characterize the broken wire defects of bridge cables.

High-strength steel wire is the basic unit of the cable, and the status of the wire directly determines the cable carrying capacity. Based on the study of the wire broken detection signal by using magnetostrictive guided wave testing, 150 steel wires were classified by artificial accelerated corrosion method. 30 steel wires are used as a group on a special bracket and regularly pour dilute hydrochloric acid to accelerate corrosion. According to the depth of corrosive pits, the corrosion of steel wire was divided into five grades. The signal characteristics of steel wire before and after corrosion were tested by using magnetostrictive waveguide nondestructive testing instrument. The above experiments show that perfect wire background signal reflection coefficient is below 2%(97% probability). So the detection signal can be sensitive to feedback the wire corrosion or not. However, it is difficult to evaluate corrosion degree grading by pits depth or weight loss. The non-destructive testing signal by using magnetostrictive guided wave is very complicated because of the size of pits, shape, orientation, surface distribution, weight loss and other factors. In conclusion, the research ideas and conclusions on the corrosion grading of steel wire and the non-destructive testing of magnetostrictive guided wave have a good effect on the corrosion evaluation of steel wire and its cable.
