Wire rope inspection by nondestructive testing methods, sensors and signal processing techniques are mainly reviewed in this paper. Owing to the difference of physical mechanism and testing principles, magnetic flux leakage, eddy current, acoustic emission and ultrasonic guide wave testing as well as other inspection methods for steel wire rope are summarized. Then, the commonly and frequently used testing sensors of inductive coil, hall element, magnetoresistive sensors and others are compared in the perspective of their corresponding operating principles, development situation, advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, signal processing techniques including the signal filtering techniques such as the time and frequency analysis methods, quantitative data processing methods such as the machine learning and defect classification are studied. Finally, the challenges and future developing trends of wire rope inspection in practical applications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
