Application of a Vision System to the Monitoring of Cable Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current paper describes the development and implementation of a vision system in the context of the monitoring of a cable-stayed bridge, discussing the major requirements, the cost of the instruments, the particular aspects of the developed image processing algorithms, the integration in a conventional monitoring system and the results of application to the International Guadiana Bridge in Portugal. This innovative system is shown to constitute a very useful complement to a conventional monitoring system whenever cable measurements are required, allowing not only for the identification of the lower order natural frequencies of these elements, but also for the detection of the start-stop of vibration events and corresponding conditions.

Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of the Composite Cable using Perturbation Method and the Green-Lagrangian Nonlinear Strain
In this study, nonlinear vibration of a composite cable is investigated by considering nonlinear stress-strain relations. The composite cable is composed of an aluminum wire as reinforcement and a rubber coating as matrix. The nonlinear governing equations of motion are derived about to an initial curve and based on the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and the nonlinear Green-Lagrangian stra...

Structures consisting of cables and membranes have been of interest to engineers due to their higher ratio of strength to weight and lower cost compared to other structures. One of the challenges in such structures is presence of holes in membranes, which leads to non-uniform stress and strain distributions, even under uniform far-field deformations. One of the approaches suggested for controll...
