ABSTRACT

In last decades, several new theories based on magneto-elastic effect for materials’ stress measurement have been greatly developed (Karjalainen & Moilanen 2009, Krause 2007, Lindgren & Lepisto 2001, Hou 2008, Philip et al. 2000) and applied in the field of aeronautics and astronautics, mechanical engineering, energy sources, building, architecture, and so on. In particular, research and application based on magneto-elastic effect for open long cable structures detection mainly focus on stress detection of cables and steel strands (Schoenekess, 2007).
