In this study, an MFL(Magnetic Flux Leakage)-based NDT(non-destructive test) method was applied to detect the inner damages of steel cable. A steel cable bunch specimen with several types of inner damage was fabricated and scanned by a MFL sensor head to measure the magnetic flux density of the specimen.the measured magnetic flux signal was visualized into a 3D MFL image for convenient cable monitoring. Finally, the results were compared with information on actual inflicted damages to confirm the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed cable monitoring method.
