Popis: Abstract Bridge cable is an important force transmission component of bridge, but it is easy to be damaged during service, such as fatigue damage and corrosion damage, which seriously threatens the safety of bridge structure. Therefore, it is necessary to identify damage of cable force. Generally, the damage of cable force can be identified by the change of cable frequency. This paper establishes a cable force damage identification model based on Bayesian inference and uses Metropolis‐Hastings (MH) algorithm to solve the posterior probability function of unknown parameter. In the Bayesian inference model, the influence of the priori function of unknown parameters on the posterior probability distribution model is discussed. In the MH algorithm, the influence of different proposed distributions (Normal distribution, Gamma distribution and Weibull distribution) on the sampling results is discussed based on three numerical simulation studies, and the influence of burned sample proportion on the establishment of a posteriori distribution function is analyzed. Furthermore, the influence of monitoring noise data and missing data on cable force damage identification is considered, and the robustness of the proposed method is analyzed.
