This study investigates the feasibility of detecting structural damage using the HHT method. A damage detection index, the ratio of bandwidth (RB) is proposed. This index is highly correlated or approximately equal to the change of equivalent damping ratio for an intact structure incurring damage from strong ground motions. Based on an analysis of shaking table test data from benchmark models subjected to adjusted Kobe and El Centro earthquakes, the damage detection index is evaluated using the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) methods, respectively. Results indicate that, when the response of the structure is in the elastic region, the RB value only slightly changes in both the HHT and the FFT spectra. Additionally, RB values estimated from the HHT spectra vs. the PGA values change incrementally when the structure response is nonlinear i.e., member yielding occurs, but not in the RB curve from the FFT spectra. Moreover, the RB value of the top floor changes more than those from the other floors. Furthermore, structural damage is detected only when using the acceleration response data from the top floor. Therefore, the ratio of bandwidth RB estimated from the smoothed HHT spectra is an effective and sensitive damage index for detecting structural damage. Results of this study also demonstrate that the HHT is a powerful method in analyzing the nonlinear responses of steel structures to strong ground motions.

The objective in this research is to determine the feasibility of using changes on the dynamic properties of a reinforced concrete (RC) structure to identify different levels of seismic induced damage. Damping ratio and natural frequency changes in a RC bridge column are analyzed using different signal processing techniques like Hilbert Transforms, Random Decrement and Wavelet Transforms. The data used in the analysis was recorded during a full-scale RC bridge column shake table test. The structure was subjected to ten earthquake excitations that induced different levels of inelastic demand on the column. In addition, low-intensity white noises were applied to the column in-between earthquakes. The results obtained show that the use of the damping ratio and natural frequency of vibration as damage indicators is arguable.

When modal tests on the large structures and machinery are performed, it is in general difficult and inaccurate to use artificial excitation devices such as impact hammers, because of insufficient capacity of the device and different environmental conditions of the concerned structures. Therefore, the Operational Modal Analysis(OMA) technique, which is performed by measuring only vibration responses during the operation of the objective product, can be one alternative. In this paper, the way to identify natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios of a ship by using the OMA during the sea trail is described.

A continuous linear operator T, on the space of entire functions in d variables, is PDE-preserving for a given set $\mathbb{P}\;\subseteq\;\mathbb{C}|\xi_{1},\ldots,\xi_{d}|$ of polynomials if it maps every kernel-set ker P(D), $P\;{\in}\;\mathbb{P}$, invariantly. It is clear that the set $\mathbb{O}({\mathbb{P}})$ of PDE-preserving operators for $\mathbb{P}$ forms an algebra under composition. We study and link properties and structures on the operator side $\mathbb{O}({\mathbb{P}})$ versus the corresponding family $\mathbb{P}$ of polynomials. For our purposes, we introduce notions such as the PDE-preserving hull and basic sets for a given set $\mathbb{P}$ which, roughly, is the largest, respectively a minimal, collection of polynomials that generate all the PDE-preserving operators for $\mathbb{P}$. We also describe PDE-preserving operators via a kernel theorem. We apply Hilbert's Nullstellensatz.

JPEG2000 is the upcoming image coding standard that provides better compression rate and image quality compared with JPEG. Lazy-mode steganography guarantees the safe communication under the two information loss stages in JPEG2000. However, it causes the severe changes of the code-block noise variance sequence after embedding and that is detectable under the steganalysis using the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) based sequential analysis. In this paper, a JPEG2000 lazy-mode steganography method is presented. The code blocks which produce the sudden variation of the noise variance after embedding are estimated by calculating low precision code-block variance (LPV) and low precision code-block noise variance (LPNV). By avoiding those code-blocks from embedding, our algorithm preserves the sequence and makes stego images secure under the HHT-based steganalytic detection. In addition, it prevents a severe degradation of image quality by using JPEG2000 quality layer information. On various 2048 images, experiments are performed to show the effective reduction of the noise variation after message embedding and the stable performance against HHT-based steganalysis.

In this paper we prove that if Toeplitz operators $T^{\alpha}_u$ with symbols in RW satisfy ${\parallel}uk^{\alpha}_z{\parallel}_{s,{\alpha}{\rightarrow}0$ as $z{\rightarrow}{\partial}\mathbb{D}$ then $T^{\alpha}_u$ is compact and also prove that if $T^{\alpha}_u$ is compact then the Berezin transform of $T^{\alpha}_u$ equals to zero on ${\partial}\mathbb{D}$.

In this paper we investigate the theory of micropolar thermoelastic bodies whose micro-particles possess microtemperatures. We transform the mixed initial boundary value problem into a temporally evolutionary equation on a Hilbert space and after that we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution. We also approach the study of the continuous dependence of solution upon initial data and loads.

Many techniques for data analysis also based on gaussian noise assumption which is often valid in various situations. However, the sensitivity of gravitational wave searches are limited by their non-gaussian and non-stationary noise. We introduce various on-going efforts to overcome this limitation in Korean Gravitational Wave Group. First, artificial neural networks are applied to discriminate non-gaussian noise artefacts and gravitational-wave signals using auxiliary channels of a gravitational wave detector. Second, viability of applying Hilbert-Huang transform is investigated to deal with non-stationary data of gravitational wave detectors. We also report progress in acceleration of low-latency gravitational search using GPGPU.

In this paper, a comparison of two types of quantitative two weight conditions for the boundedness of the dyadic paraproduct and the commutator of the Hilbert transform is provided. In the case of the commutator [b, H], the conditions of the well-known Bloom's inequality [2] and the slightly different types of two weight inequality introduced in [1] are compared around the A₂-conditions on weights and the novel conditions on the function b.

In this paper, we derive a change of scale formula for conditional Wiener integrals, as integral transforms, of possibly unbounded functions over Wiener paths in abstract Wiener space. In fact, we derive the change of scale formula for the product of the functions in a Banach algebra which is equivalent to both the Fresnel class and the space of measures of bounded variation over a real separable Hilbert space, and the $L_p-type$cylinder functions over Wiener paths in abstract Wiener space. As an application of the result, we obtain a change of scale formula for the conditional analytic Fourier-Feynman transform of the product of the functions.
