| Abstract: |
Cable structures are very sensitive regarding design, calculation, manufacturing and installation methods. All elements have to work together to receive a proper result at the end. To eliminate one more point of inaccuracy in this chain, a new method for measuring and monitoring of the Cable forces was developed. The ultrasonic load monitoring method with a pin equipped with ultrasonic sensors and an unique id chip. Accuracy of measuring the cable forces raise to an exactness of +/- 1.5%. |
