Module Identification for Broken Wires of Steel Wire Rope Based on BP Neural Network Xu Junfeng Tao DexinThis paper introduces an approach to identify the broken wires of steel wire rope based on BP neural network. Firstly, the signal data of specimen is got by wavelet theory, then learning and training the data forms a perfect structure of neural network. Secondly, steel wire rope is detected by the perfect neural network. And then the result of the network is to reach the required accuracy of broken wires, so it is proved this approach is feasible in the practical application.steel wire rope; neural network; pattern recognition
