This paper presents the application method of a wavelet theory for identification of the structural dynamic properties of a bridge, which is based on the ambient vibration signal caused by the traffic loadings. The method utilizes the time-scale decomposition of the ambient vibration signal , i . e. the continuous wavelet transform using the Morlet wavelet is used to decompose the ambient vibration signal into the time-scale domain. The applicability of the proposed approach is verified through the reduced scale bridge and automobile system in the laboratory. The results of verification shows that the use of the Morlet wavelet to identify the structural dynamic properties is reasonable and practicable.

Wavelet transforms are introduced as a new tool to distinguish real peaks from the noise contaminated NMR data in this paper. New algorithms of two wavelet transforms including Daubechies wavelet transform as a discrete and orthogonal wavelet transform (DWT) and Morlet wavelet transform as a continuous and nonorthogonal wavelet transform(CWT) were developed fer noise elimination. DWT and CWT method were successfully applied to the noise reduction in spectrum. The inevitable distortion of NMR spectral baseline and the imperfection in noise elimination were observed in DWT method while CWT method gives a better baseline ahape and a well noise suppressed spectrum.

This study presents the results of series of studies, which are mainly devoted to the application of wavelet transforms to various problems in ocean engineering. Both continuous and discrete wavelet transforms were used. These studies attempted to solve detection of wave directionality, detection of wave profile, and decoupling of the rolling component from free roll decay tests. The results of these analysis, using wavelet transform, demonstrated that the wavelet transform can be a useful tool in analyzing many problems in the filed of ocean engineering.

The WCHF-FSJTC (wavelet circular harmonic function frequency selective joint transform correlator) using th wavelet transformed CHF as the reference image in FSJTC is proposed for rotation invariant pattern recognition. Since the wavelet transform has the property of feature extraction, the proposed system can have the better DC (discrimination cpability) and the higher SNR(signal to noise ratio) compared with the conventional CHF-CJTC(circular harmonic function conventional joint transform correlator). And since the structure of the proposed system is FSJTC which can eliminate auto-correlation and cross-correlation between input images, it can eliminate false alarm caused by the overlapping among correlation peaks. The used wavelet functio is the morlet function, which is proper for the reference image used in this paper. the optimal dialation parameter and oscillation frequency of the wavelet function are also achieved with varying the parameters of the wavelet function. The computer simulation shows that the proposed system has the best performance when the dilation parameter is 0.8 and the oscillation frequency is 0.48.

Recently. the subject of "wavelet analysis" has drawn much attention from both mathematical and engineering application fields such as Signal Processing, Compression/ Decomposition, Statistics and etc. Analogous to Fourier analysis, wavelets is a versatile tool with very rich mathematical content and great potential for applications. Specially, wavelet transform uses localizable various mother wavelet functions in time-frequency domain. In this paper, discrimination analyses of acquired electrical current signals for each and mixed loads were tried by using Morlet wavelet transform. Their representative loads were classified as TV, DRY, REF, and FL.

The human auditory system is appropriate for the "constant Q"system. The STFT (Short Time Fourier Transform) is not suitable for the auditory perception model since it has constant bandwidth. In this paper, the CWT (continuous wavelet transform) is employed for the auditory filter model. In the CWT, the frequency resolution can be adjusted for auditory sensation models. The proposed CWT is applied to the modeling of the JNVF. In addition, other signal processing methods such as STFT, VER-FFT and VFR-STFT are discussed. Among these methods, the model of JNVF (Just Noticeable Variation in Frequency) by using the CWT fits in with the JNVF of auditory model although it requires quite a long time.

The regularity of railway track alignment is a crucial component fur maintaining travel safety and the smoothness of passenger ride. The conventional spectral analysis has been considered to estimate the severity of the track irregularity from measured data. The time domain data used to be changed into the frequency domain by Fourier transform. Because the measuring points can be regarded as the time points, the spatial-frequency can be introduced instead of the time-frequency. Although FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) and/or PSD(Power Spectral Density) function could provide fairly localized information within frequency domain, but chronical configurations of data could be missed. In this study, we attempt to apply the Morlet wavelet transform for the purpose of a frequency-time-domain analysis rather than a frequency-domain analysis. The applicability of wavelet transform is examined for the estimation of the track irregularity with real measured track data on the section of Kyoung-bu line by EM-120 measuring vehicle. It is shown that the wavelet transform can be an effective tool to manage the track irregularity.

Feed-forward neural networks have been widely used as function approximation tools in the context of global approximate optimization. In the present study, a wavelet neural network (WNN) which is based on wavelet transform theory is suggested as an alternative to a traditional back-propagation neural network (BPN). The basic theory of wavelet neural network is briefly described, and approximation performance is tested using a nonlinear multimodal function and a composite rotor blade analysis problem. Laplacian of Gaussian function, Mexican function, and Morlet function are considered during the construction of WNN architectures. In addition, approximation results from WNN are compared with those from BPN.

본 연구에서는 연속 웨이블렛 변환을 이용하여 Ringing 현상을 연구하였다. 사용되어진 웨이블렛은 Morlet 웨이블렛이었고, 실험은 파수조에서 수행되었다. 또한 Ringing 현상을 다루고자 쇄파를 발생시켰다. 실험에 쓰인 모델은 수면을 통과하여 수직으로 고정된 원주 실린더였고, 이 실린더에 작용된 힘과 파고가 측정되어졌다. 이들은 연속 웨이블렛 변환으로 분석되어졌고, 이러한 분석으로 얻어진 scalogram 들은 고주파 성분이 쇄파 충격시 만들어진다는 사실을 시간영역상에서 보여주었다. 이는 기존의 스펙트럼 분석에서는 찾기 힘든 것이다. Coherence 분석도 위의 결론을 뒷받침해 주었다.
