In recent decades, wavelet transforms as a strong signal processing tool have attracted attention of researchers for damage identification. Apart from the wide application of wavelet transforms for damage identification, influence of higher order modes on the quality of damage detection has been a challenging matter for researchers. In this study, influence of higher order modes and different mass configurations on the quality of damage detection through Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) was studied. Nine different damage scenarios were imposed to four cantilever structures having different mass configurations. The first four mode shapes of the cantilever structures were measured experimentally and analyzed by DWT. A damage index was defined in order to study the influence of higher order modes. Results of this study showed that change in the mass configuration had a great impact on the quality of damage detection even when the changes altered natural frequencies slightly. It was observed that for successful damage detection all available mode shapes should be taken into account and measured mode shapes had no significant priority for damage detection over each other.

Power system frequency is the main index of power quality indicating an abnormal state and disturbances of systems. The nominal frequency is deviated by sudden change in generation and load or faults. Power system is used as frequency relay to detection for off-nominal frequency operation and connecting a generator to an electrical system, and V/F relay to detection for an over-excitation condition. Under these circumstances, power system should maintain the nominal frequency. And frequency and frequency deviation should accurately measure and quickly estimate by frequency measurement device. The well-known classical method, frequency estimation technique based on the DFT, could be produce the gain error in accuracy. To meet the requirements for high accuracy, recently Wavelet transforms and analysis are receiving new attention. The Wavelet analysis is possible to calculate the time-frequency analysis which is easy to obtain frequency information of signals. However, it is difficult to apply in real-time implementation because of heavy computation burdens. Nowadays, the computational methods using the Wavelet function and transformation techniques have been searched on these fields. In this paper, we apply the Recursive Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT) for the frequency estimation. In order to evaluate performance of the proposed technique, the user-defined arbitrary waveforms are used.

Wavelet transforms provide basis functions for time-frequency analysis and have properties that are particularly useful for the compression of analogue point on wave transient and disturbance power system signals. This paper evaluates the compression properties of the discrete wavelet transform using actual power system data. The results presented in the paper indicate that reduction ratios up to 10:1 with acceptable distortion are achievable. This paper discussed the application of the reduction method for fault analysis and protection assessment.

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.

웨이블릿 변환과 인공신경망을 이용하여 AE 신호를 분류하는 소프트웨어 패키지를 개발하였다. 웨이블릿 변환으로는 연속 웨이블릿 변환과 이산 웨이블릿 변환을 모두 고려하였으며, 인공신경망의 모델로는 오류 역전파 인공신경망을 사용하였다. 분류에 사용된 AE 신호는 용접부에 인공결함을 가진 시편의 3점 굽힘시험에서 발생한 신호이다. 개발된 소프트웨어 패키지를 이용하여 이 신호를 웨이블릿 변환시켜 생성된 시간-주파수 평면상에서 특징값을 추출하고 이를 인공신경망에 학습하여 인공신경망 분류기를 설계하고 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 소프트웨어 패키지를 이용한 AE 신호 분류법이 유용함을 보이고, 또한 연속 웨이블릿 변환과 이산 웨이블릿 변환에 의한 분류 결과를 비교하였다.

Discrete wavelet transforms are extensively preferred in biomedical signal processing for denoising, feature extraction, and compression. This paper presents a new denoising method based on the modeling of discrete wavelet coefficients of ECG in selected sub-bands with Kernel density estimation. The modeling provides a statistical distribution of information and noise. A Gaussian kernel with bounded support is used for modeling sub-band coefficients and thresholds and is estimated by placing a sliding window on a normalized cumulative density function. We evaluated this approach on offline noisy ECG records from the Cardiovascular Research Centre of the University of Glasgow and on records from the MIT-BIH Arrythmia database. Results show that our proposed technique has a more reliable physical basis and provides improvement in the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Percentage RMS Difference (PRD). The morphological information of ECG signals is found to be unaffected after employing denoising. This is quantified by calculating the mean square error between the feature vectors of original and denoised signal. MSE values are less than 0.05 for most of the cases.

본 논문에서는 실외 정밀 위치 추정을 위하여 설계된 GPS(Global positioning system)-INS(Inertial navigation system) 결합 시스템의 잡음 필터링 기법과 데이터 결합을 위한 기법을 소개한다. 실외 이동 항체의 속도 변화에 따라 차등적으로 발생하는 INS의 잡음들을 이산 웨이블릿 변환을 통해 신호를 분석하고 발생하는 잡음들을 데이터의 왜곡을 최소화하며 제거할 수 있는 차등 임계화 기법을 통한 필터링 기법을 제안하였다. 이는 항체의 가/감/등속을 고려하지 않고 특정 로우/하이 필터를 적용하여 데이터의 왜곡이 일어나는 기존 필터링 기법을 개선한 것이다. 또한 UPF를 이용해 비선형 특성과, 비가우시안 잡음의 특성을 가지는 실외 이동 항체의 GPS와 INS의 결합시킴으로서 실외에서 정밀하게 위치를 추정할 수 있게 하였고 이를 설계하여 실험을 통해 성능을 분석하였다.
