음향방출(Acoustic Emission, AE) 시스템은 최근 조기 결함 검출 시스템 개발을 위해 적용되고 있으며, 그에 따르는 신호처리 기법에 대한 문제를 해결하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 신호처리 기법 중 포락처리(Envelope analysis)가 베어링 결함 분석에 사용되고, Wavelet Transform은 기어 등의 결함 분석에 용이한 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 여전히 AE 신호를 위한 신호처리 기법은 불확실하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 AE 시스템을 적용한 조기 결함 검출 시스템 개발을 위한 사전 연구로, AE 신호를 분석하기 위한 신호처리 기법으로 Hilbert Transform(HT)과 Hilbert-Huang Transform(HHT)에 대해 비교 분석한다. AE 신호는 피로시험을 통해 취득되었으며, 취득된 AE 신호를 두 신호처리 기법을 적용하여 주파수 및 시간 신호에 대해 분석하였다. HT에 비해 HHT가 시간-주파수 영역에 대해 결과를 나타내기 때문에 좀 더 명확한 특징을 보이는 데에 반해 신호처리 시간 및 필터링에 대한 단점을 보이고 있음을 확인하였다.

Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD)을 통한 Hilbert Huang Transform(HHT)은 시간-주파수 영역분석 방법 중 하나로 기존의 다른 분석 방법에 비해 비선형, 비정상 신호를 해석 가능하다는 등 여러가지 이점이 있다. 그러나 인접한 주파수를 분별하기 힘들고 잡음에 취약하다는 결점이 있다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 HHT와 정상신호 분석에 효과적인 Short-Time Fourier Transform(STFT)을 비교하여 각 방법의 장 단점을 분석하고 Rijke 튜브 실험에서 얻은 열음향학적 불안정 데이터에 적용하여 잡음에 취약한 점을 보완한 Improved HHT와 비교한다. 그 결과, EMD를 이용한 Original HHT보다 EEMD를 이용한 Improved HHT가 잡음의 영향을 적게 받아 보다 정확한 신호분석이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Transient characteristics of a signal can be effectively exhibited in time-frequency domain. Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is one of the time-frequency domain analysis methods. HHT is known for its several advantages over other signal analysis methods. The capability of analyzing non-stationary or nonlinear characteristics of a signal is the primary advantage of HHT. Moreover, it is known that HHT can provide fine resolution in high frequency region and handle large size data efficiently. In this study, the effectiveness of Hilbert-Huang transform is illustrated by employing structural systems undergoing impact. A simple discrete system and an axially oscillating cantilever beam undertaking periodic impulsive force are chosen to show the effectiveness of HHT.

A recently developed Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) technique is applied to the detection of the damage locations of bridge structures. The HHT may be used to identify the locations of damages which exhibit nonlinear and non-stationary behavior, since the instantaneous frequency characteristics of the measured signal can be analyzed by the HHT. Numerical simulations were conducted on two bridge systems with damages using controlled excitations with sweeping frequency. Nonlinear plastic model using a gap element is employed to model the behavior of the cracked elements in the numerical simulations. The results indicate that the HHT method can reasonably identify the damage locations based on a limited number of acceleration sensors. Experimental study has been 실so carried out on a steel frame to confirm the applicability of the HHT to detect a structural connection with loosened bolts.

An economic signal in the real world usually reflects complex phenomena. One may have difficulty both extracting and interpreting information embedded in such a signal. A natural way to reduce complexity is to decompose the original signal into several simple components, and then analyze each component. Spectral analysis (Priestley, 1981) provides a tool to analyze such signals under the assumption that the time series is stationary. However when the signal is subject to non-stationary and nonlinear characteristics such as amplitude and frequency modulation along time scale, spectral analysis is not suitable. Huang et al. (1998b, 1999) proposed a data-adaptive decomposition method called empirical mode decomposition and then applied Hilbert spectral analysis to decomposed signals called intrinsic mode function. Huang et al. (1998b, 1999) named this two step procedure the Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT). Because of its robustness in the presence of nonlinearity and non-stationarity, HHT has been used in various fields. In this paper, we discuss the applications of the HHT and demonstrate its promising potential for non-stationary financial time series data provided through a Korean stock price index.

본 연구에서는 최근에 개발된 Hilbert-Huang 변환(HHT) 기법의 교각시스템에서 손상위치추정을 위한 적용성을 분석하였다. HHT기법으로 시계열의 순간주파수를 분석할 수 있음을 이용하여, 손상에 기인한 비선형 거동이 발생하는 때에 순간주파수의 변화를 분석함으로서, 손상부재와 위치를 추정하는 방법이다. 손상을 입은 교각 시스템에 대하여 수치모의실험을 수행하였는데, 이 때에 주파수가 점차로 증가하는 입력하중을 사용하였다. 연구결과로부터, HHT기법이 한정된 갯수의 가속도센서를 이용하여 계측오차가 포함된 조건하에서도 교각에 발생한 손상위치를 적절히 색출할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.

This paper presents an improved version of the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) for the modal evaluation of structural systems or signals. In this improved HHT, a well-designed bandpass filter is used as preprocessing to separate and determine each mode of the signal for solving the inherent modemixing problem in HHT (i.e., empirical mode decomposition, EMD, associated with the Hilbert transform). A screening process is then applied to remove undesired intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) derived from the EMD of the signal's mode. A "best" IMF is selected in each screening process that utilizes the orthogonalization coefficient between the signal's mode and its IMFs. Through mode-by-mode signal filtering, parameters such as the modal frequency can be evaluated accurately when compared to the theoretical value. Time history of the identified modal frequency is available. Numerical results prove the efficiency of the proposed approach, showing relative errors 1.40%, 2.06%, and 1.46%, respectively, for the test cases of a benchmark structure in the lab, a simulated time-varying structural system, and of a linear superimposed cosine waves.

Rotating machinery has two typical faults with clearance, one is partial rub and the other is looseness. Due to these faults, non-linear and non-stationary signals are occurred. Therefore, time-frequency analysis is necessary for exact fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. In this paper newly developed time-frequency analysis method, HHT(Hilbert-Huang Transform) is applied to fault diagnosis and compared with other method of FFT, SFFT and CWT. The results show that HHT can represent better resolution than any other method. Consequently, the faults of rotating machinery are diagnosed efficiently by using HHT.

This study aims to present new frequency-related seismic intensity parameters (SIPs) based on the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) analysis. The proposed procedure is utilized for the processing of several seismic accelerograms. Thus, the entire evaluated Hilbert Spectrum (HS) of each considered seismic velocity time-history is investigated first, and then, a delimited area of the same HS around a specific frequency is explored, for the proposition of new SIPs. A first application of the suggested new parameters is to reveal the interrelation between them and the structural damage of a reinforced concrete frame structure. The index of Park and Ang describes the structural damage. The fundamental frequency of the structure is considered as the mentioned specific frequency. Two statistical methods, namely correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, are used to identify the relationship between the considered SIPs and the corresponding structural damage. The results confirm that the new proposed HHT-based parameters are effective descriptors of the seismic damage potential and helpful tools for forecasting the seismic damages on buildings.

For CSLDV, the Chebyshev demodulation (or polynomial) technique and Hilbert transform approach have been used for mode shape reconstruction with harmonic excitation. In this paper, the Hilbert-Huang transform approach was applied as an alternative to impact excitation cases in terms of a numerical approach. The vibration of the tested structure is modeled using impulse response functions. In order to verify this technique, a simply supported beam was chosen as the test rig. With additional innovative steps which are the ideal-band pass filter and the nodal point determination, Hilbert-Huang transformation can be used for a good mode shape reconstruction even in the impact excitation case.
