Damage detection of cables in cable-stayed bridges using vibration data measured from climbing robot

The paper "Damage detection of cables in cable-stayed bridges using vibration data measured from climbing robot" presents a method for damage detection of bridge cables using the vibration signal coming from the sensor installed in the climbing robot. In this paper, the damage type of local reduction in diameter is considered. The climbing robot consisting of a body and three wheels connected to the body by three springs. The cable is considered as an axially loaded Euler beam. When there is no damage, the dynamic displacement of the robot is smooth and no distortion can be inspected.
