A new technique is proposed for bridge structural damage detection based on spatial wavelet analysis of the time history obtained from vehicle body moving over the bridge, which is different from traditional detection techniques based on the bridge response. A simply-supported Bernoulli-Euler beam subjected to a moving spring-mass unit is established, with the crack in the beam simulated by modeling the cracked section as a rotational spring connecting two undamaged beam segments, and the equations of motion for the system is derived. By using the transfer matrix method, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cracked beam are determined. The responses of the beam and the moving spring-mass unit are obtained by modal decomposition theory. The continuous wavelet transform is calculated on the displacement time histories of the sprung-mass. The case study result shows that the damage location can be accurately determined and the method is effective.

A continuous and reliable electrical energy supply is the objective of any power system operation. A transmission line is the part of the power system where faults are most likely to happen. This paler describes the use of wavelet transform for analyzing power system fault transients in order to determine the fault location. Synchronized sampling was made possible by precise time receivers based on GPS time reference, and the sampled data were analyzed using wavelet transform. This paper describes a fault location monitoring system and fault locating algorithm with GPS, DSP processor, and data acquisition board, and presents some experimental results and error analysis.

To improve device yield and throughput, faults in plasma processing equipment should be quickly and accurately diagnosed. Despite many useful information of ex-situ sensor measurements, their applications to recognize plasma faultshave not been investigated. In this study, a new technique to identify fault causes by recognizing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) using neural network and continuous wavelet transformation (CWT). The presented technique was evaluated with the plasma etch data. A totalof 17 experiments were conducted for model construction. Model performance was investigated from the perspectives of training error, testing error, and recognition accuracy with respect to various thresholds. CWT-based BPNN models demonstrated a higher prediction accuracy of about 26%. Their advantages over pure XPS-based models were conspicuous in all three measures at small networks.

Identification of vibration parameters from the analysis of the dynamic response of a structure plays a key role in current health monitoring systems. This study evaluates the capabilities of the recently developed Synchrosqueezed Wavelet Transform (SWT) to extract instant frequencies and damping values from the simulated noise-contaminated response of a structure. Two approaches to estimate the modal damping ratio from the results of the SWT are presented. The results obtained are compared to other signal processing methods based on Continuous Wavelet (CWT) and Hilbert-Huang (HHT) transforms. It was found that the time-frequency representation obtained via SWT is sharped than the obtained using just the CWT and it allows a more robust extraction of the individual modal responses than using the HHT. However, the identification of damping ratios is more stable when the CWT coefficients are employed.

The fMRI which can express the function of brain as MR image is now being studied. The study on the functional image has usually been performed with the MRI in 4 tesla class in goneral, but if gradient echo imaging method could be used, it might make the most of what it has with the MRI in 1.5 tesla class. However, the lack of adequate image post-processing software prevents it from being used as widely as it could be. For the image post-processing algorithm of the functional image, subtraction method and several statistical methods are used with continuous introduction of new method recently. In this paper, we suggest adaptation of wavelet algorithm for obtaining a more reliable brain function map.

Damage detection methodologies based on the direct examination of the nonlinear-nonstationary characteristics of the structure dynamic response may play an important role in online structural health monitoring applications. Different signal processing based damage detection methodologies have been proposed based on the uncovering of spikes in the high frequency component of the structural response obtained via Discrete Wavelet transforms, Hilbert-Huang transforms or high pass filtering. The performance of these approaches in systems subjected to different types of excitation is evaluated in this paper. It is found that in the case of random excitations, like earthquake accelerations, the effectiveness of such methodologies is limited. An alternative damage detection approach using the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is also evaluated to overcome this limitation. Using the CWT has the advantage that the central frequencies at which it operates can be defined by the user while the frequency bands of the detail functions obtained via DWT are predetermined by the sampling period of the signal.

This paper presents the intelligent modeling method of chaotic systems using a DNA coding based wavelet neural network(WNN). Generally the mathematical teaming method such as gradient descent method is used to adjust the parameters of WNN, which has much computational cost. To overcome this kind of problem, we use the DNA coding method as the learning method of WNN, and then combine it with the WNN. Finally, to verify the efficiency of our method, we apply the proposed DNA coding based wavelet neural network for modeling of Duffing system, which is a representative continuous-time chaotic system.

An wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system is a widely used non-invasive diagnostic tool for ambulatory patient who may be at risk from latent life-threatening cardiac abnormalities. In this paper, we have a portable ECG monitoring system with conductive fiber which was characterized by the small-size and the low power consumption. The system consists of conductive fibers, one-chip microcontroller, ECG preprocessing circuit, and monitoring software to be able to record and analyze in PC. ECG preprocessing circuit is made of pre-amplifier with gain of 10, band-pass filter with bandwidth of 0.5-120Hz and 2.5V offset circuit for A/D conversion. ECG signals obtained by sensor are included with corrupted noises such as a baseline wandering, 60 Hz power noise and interference noise by body movement. For cancellation corrupted noises in signals obtained by conductive fiber, we used the wavelet decomposition of wavelet transforms in MATLAB toolbox.
