Abstract

In the process of identifying the tension of cables, the frequency errors have a great influence on them. The paper puts forward a method of modifying the cable tension by calculating the corrections of the frequency according to the principles of Least Squares; and it also analyses accuracy of the tension of cables. The results show that the correction technique of the natural frequency is right, its accuracy is better, and the cables are safe.
