Abstract:
In previous work, considering the complementarities of the classic magnetic flux leakage (MFL) and elasto-magnetic (EM) techniques, we proposed a novel sensor to measure the biased pulse magnetic response in steel stay cable for the detection of surface and internal flaws. In this study, a crawler robot is developed to carry the novel sensor for large-diameter steel stay cable inspection. The entire robot system consists of a drive mechanism, pre-loading mechanism, power supply and motor control module. The load capacity and the maximum climbing speed of the robot are experimentally evaluated. Finally, the proposed crawler robot equipped with MFL devices is applied for inspecting defective steel stay cable in laboratory. The testing results show that the crawler robot-based system can successfully detect both surface and internal defects in large-diameter steel stay cable. © APWSHM 2018. All rights reserved.
