This paper presents the results of the tests on electrical impedance for the steel wire under the effect of ambient temperature and stress level shift. The experiments are carried out in variable temperature conditions ranging from 30 to 60 ℃ and different stress levels ranging from 10% to 70% of yield strength. The results show the relationship between electrical impedance and temperature is a linear correlation at all stress levels.

This study introduces the experimental relation between impedance frequency and applied stress level on a wire. The impedance of a stressed wire in the range of frequency from DC to 5M Hz is examined for three different applied stress conditions. It is confirmed that the impedance of a wire is inversely proportional to applied stress rate for most frequency range. Also, some impedance peaks are observed at certain specific frequency regions.
