Theoretical Background for the Application of the Continuous Wavelet Transform

Although there have been many investigations employing the continuous wavelet transform for the analysis of dispersive waves, they seem to lack theoretical justifications for the effectiveness of the continuous wavelet transform over other time-frequency analysis tools such as the short-time Fourier transform. The goal of this paper is to answer this question by investigating theoretically the performance of the continuous wavelet transform and the short-time Fourier transform in tracing rapidly time-varying flexural waves. As a specific example, the performance of the two transforms is compared in a problem dealing with flexural waves generated by an impact in a solid circular cylinder.
