As an important load-bearing component, steel wire ropes (WRs) are widely used in
complex systems such as mine hoists, cranes, ropeways, elevators, oil rigs, and cable …

Steel wire ropes are the vital load-bearing element in many rope transport devices, such as
mine hoists, personal lifts, bridges and cableways. Non-destructive fault detection is a …

Ultrasonic monitoring is one of the most important tools in the field of structural health
monitoring (SHM). The main goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the …

This study presents a nondestructive evaluation method based on guided ultrasonic waves
(GUW) to quantify corrosion damage of prestressing steel strands. Specifically, a reference …

Health monitoring of cables in civil engineering structures is a great challenge, because
their integrity directly affects the safety of the whole structure. A magnetostrictive (MS) …

The internal defects of the Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) can be effectively
visualized by X-ray imaging. However, the online detection of internal defects in the carbon …

The amount and variety of composite structures that need to be inspected for the presence of
impact damage has grown significantly in the last few decades. In this paper, an application …

Surface wear is the main reason for the breaking failure of the wire rope in service,
particularly in the multi-layer winding hoist system of a coal mine. Understanding the effect of …

Elevator wire ropes with polymer cores hold and hoist heavy fluctuating loads in a corrosive
environment. Such working condition causes metal fatigue, which together with abrasion …

This paper deals with the health monitoring of rails. Many nondestructive techniques have
been applied to rule on the health of rails. Ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) technique is …
