corrosion of reinforcing steel and other embedded metals is the main cause of severe deterioration in reinforced concrete structures which subsequently imposes adverse effects on ultimate and serviceability limit state performance of the whole structure. in this paper, a new corrosion detection method for reinforced concrete beams, based on wavelet analysis is presented. to evaluate the capabil...

In this paper we study a generalization of the Donoho-Johnstone denoising model for the case of the translation invariant wavelet transform. Instead of soft-thresholding coeecients of the classical orthogonal discrete wavelet transform, we study soft-thresholding of the co-eecients of the translation invariant discrete wavelet transform. This latter transform is not an orthogonal transformation...

We present new multiwavelet transforms of multiplicity 2 for manipulation of discrete-time signals. The transforms are implemented in two phases: 1) Pre (post)-processing, which transforms the scalar signal into a vector signal (and back) and 2) wavelet transforms of the vector signal. Both phases are performed in a lifting manner. We use the cubic interpolatory Hermite splines as a predicting ...
