The Continuous Wavelet Transform: a Tool for Signal Investigation and Understanding
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article, the continuous wavelet transform is introduced as a signal processing tool for investigating time-varying frequency spectrum characteristics of nonstationary signals. The transform is discussed within the context of Fourier methods and the general problem of time-frequency representation and is compared with the more traditional Gabor method of windowed Fourier transforms. To take full advantage of the potential benefit of wavelet characterization, a computer algorithm for generating wavelet images from data is needed. Such an efficient algorithm, the algorithme a trous, was invented and published several years ago by an important group of engineering researchers. A detailed derivation and analysis of their algorithm is presented.

متن کاملDamage identification of structures using experimental modal analysis and continuous wavelet transform
Abstract: Modal analysis is a powerful technique for understanding the behavior and performance of structures. Modal analysis can be conducted via artificial excitation, e.g. shaker or instrument hammer excitation. Input force and output responses are measured. That is normally referred to as experimental modal analysis (EMA). EMA consists of three steps: data acquisition, system identificatio...
