The invention discloses a detecting method for tension vibration, and a detecting device thereof, relating to the technical field of cable tension detection. The detecting method for the tension vibration of the invention comprises the following steps: step one, a sensor is arranged on the cable of a cable bridge to collect data; step two, the collected data in the step one is treated with FFT analysis; step three, the FFT analysis in the step two is treated with long cable judgment, if the result is judged to be long cable, the computation of the cable force of the long cable is carried out, and the result is stored in a memory; if the result is judged not to be long cable, then the next step is executed; and step four, the FFT analysis in the step two is treated with short cable judgment, if the result is judged to be short cable, the computation of the cable force of the short cable is carried out, and the result is stored in the memory, if the result is judged not to be short cable, then the first step is executed for collecting the data again. The detecting method and the detecting device of the invention realize the aims of good detection effect and wide application range, and is not limited by use conditions, simple structure, and low power consumption.
