Ultrasonic transducer array tomography for detecting defect of metal plate based on Hilbert transformation

Hilbert transformation and improved ellipse localization method is applied in ultrasonic transducer array tomography to detect defect of metal plate.By combining the improved ellipse localization method and time-reversal method,the new ultrasonic tomography algorithm employs smooth Hilbert envelope instead of discrete amplitude to reconstruct defect image.An ultrasonic tomography system with six transducers is built to evaluate the effectiveness of the new ultrasonic tomography algorithm.The S0 mode Lamb wave is excited on special condition,and the mode of received signal is identified by Vigner-Wille distribution.The gray value of image area is defined by envelope of the reflected S0 mode Lamb wave signal from defect boundary.Defect image can be reconstructed by summing gray value of all pixels in the image area.The experimentally reconstructed defect image shows that the new tomography algorithm based on Hilbert transformation is efficient for defect detection in metal plate.

Quantum Mechanical Hilbert Transformation for Normally Ordering Coulomb Potential-Type Operators

We show that the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators can be extended to Hilbert transform. In so doing we derive normally ordered expansion of Coulomb potential-type operators directly by using the mathematical Hilbert transform formula.

Optimization of the End Effect of Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT)

In fault diagnosis of rotating machinery, Hil- bert-Huang transform （HHT） is often used to extract the fault characteristic signal and analyze decomposition results in time-frequency domain. However, end effect occurs in HHT, which leads to a series of problems such as modal aliasing and false IMF （Intrinsic Mode Func- tion）. To counter such problems in HHT, a new method is put forward to process signal by combining the general- ized regression neural network （GRNN） with the bound- ary local characteristic-scale continuation （BLCC）. Firstly, the improved EMD （Empirical Mode Decompo- sition） method is used to inhibit the end effect problem that appeared in conventional EMD. Secondly, the gen- erated IMF components are used in HHT. Simulation and measurement experiment for the cases of time domain, frequency domain and related parameters of Hilbert- Huang spectrum show that the method described here can restrain the end effect compared with the results obtained through mirror continuation, as the absolute percentage of the maximum mean of the beginning end point offset and the terminal point offset are reduced from 30.113% and 27.603% to 0.510% and 6.039% respectively, thus reducing the modal aliasing, and eliminating the false IMF components of HHT. The proposed method caneffectively inhibit end effect, reduce modal aliasing and false IMF components, and show the real structure of signal components accuratelX.

Determination of Instantaneous Frequencies of Low Plasma Waves in the Magnetosheath Using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert Transform (HT)

The observations of in-situ spacecraft mission in the magnetosheath and a region of thermalized subsonic plasma behind the bow shock reveal a non-linear behaviour of plasma waves. The study of waves and optics in Physics has given the understanding of the effect of many waves coming together to form a wave field or wave packet. The common aspect of such study shows that two or more waves can superimpose constructively or destructively. The sudden high magnetic field data in the magnetosheath displays such possibility of superposition of waves. In this paper, we use the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform (HT) techniques to determine the instantaneous frequencies of low frequency plasma waves in the magnetosheath. Our analysis has shown that the turbulent behavior of magnetic field in the magnetosheath within the selected period is due to superposition of waves.

Efficacy of Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) in the Analysis of Instantaneous Low Frequency Waves of Magnetosheath

The flow of supersonic plasma is accompanied by a highly thermalized region called the Magnetoshealth found after the bow shock. Enclosed within this region are different wave modes associated with classes of boundaries which have been determined by different methods. The efficacy of Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is based on the conditionality of allowing for the local analysis of frequencies, which presents the physical meaning of the original signal at that instant. The observed data have been taken from Cluster II Fluxgate Magnetometer (FGM) instrument that provides advantage for the analysis in three dimensions. The result compares favourably with instantaneous frequencies computed using simple Hilbert transform (SHT) with electric field measurements of Cluster II mission already carried out in literatures. The result of this study has shown that HHT provides the best applicability in the magnetosheath data analysis than the wavelet and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The application of HHT based on its advantages over other methods is viewed to be very critical in the analysis of multi-frequency signals where different frequencies could be determined distinctively at a point.

Seismic dip estimation based on the twodimensional Hilbert transform and its application in random noise attenuation

In seismic data processing, random noise seriously affects the seismic data quality and subsequently the interpretation. This study aims to increase the signal-to-noise ratio by suppressing random noise and improve the accuracy of seismic data interpretation without losing useful information. Hence, we propose a structure-oriented polynomial fitting filter. At the core of structure-oriented filtering is the characterization of the structural trend and the realization of nonstationary filtering. First, we analyze the relation of the frequency response between two-dimensional（2D） derivatives and the 2D Hilbert transform. Then, we derive the noniterative seismic local dip operator using the 2D Hilbert transform to obtain the structural trend. Second, we select polynomial fitting as the nonstationary filtering method and expand the application range of the nonstationary polynomial fitting. Finally, we apply variableamplitude polynomial fitting along the direction of the dip to improve the adaptive structureoriented filtering. Model and field seismic data show that the proposed method suppresses the seismic noise while protecting structural information.

小电流系统发生单相接地故障时故障特征易受高接地过渡电阻、小初相角等弱故障条件影响而导致选线准确率低。为此,提出一种基于改进希尔伯特黄变换—随机森林(improved Hilbert⁃Huang transform⁃random forest,IHHT⁃RF)的配电网单相接地故障选线方法。首先,提取每条线路在故障发生时的电流暂态信号,通过IHHT提取纯净的暂态电气量,构造标准差、能量熵和幅值畸变度3类特征向量;然后,将特征向量输入RF分类器建立故障选线模型,把故障选线问题转化为二分类问题;最后,将测量数据输入RF分类器中得出分类结果,实现故障线路的自动识别。仿真结果表明,该选线方法综合利用暂态信号的幅值、频率和能量等特征信息,不受弱故障条件、馈线结构等因素的影响,能有效提高故障选线的准确率,具有较强的适应性和可靠性。

Practical implementation of Hilbert-Huang Transform algorithm

Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is a newly developed powerful method for nonlinear and non-stationary time series analysis. The empirical mode decomposition is the key part of HHT, while its algorithm was protected by NASA as a US patent, which limits the wide application among the scientific community. Two approaches, mirror periodic and extrema extending methods, have been developed for handling the end effects of empirical mode decomposition. The implementation of the HHT is realized in detail to widen the application. The detailed comparison of the results from two methods with that from Huang et al. (1998, 1999), and the comparison between two methods are presented. Generally, both methods reproduce faithful results as those of Huang et al. For mirror periodic method (MPM), the data are extended once forever. Ideally, it is a way for handling the end effects of the HHT, especially for the signal that has symmetric waveform. The extrema extending method (EEM) behaves as good as MPM, and it is better than MPM for the signal that has strong asymmetric waveform. However, it has to perform extrema envelope extending in every shifting process.

Condition Evaluation in Steel Truss Bridge with Fused Hilbert Transform,Spectral Kurtosis,and Bandpass Filter

This study is concerned with the diagnosis of discrepancies in a steel truss bridge by identifying dynamic properties from the vibration response signals of the bridges.The vibration response signals collected at bridges under three different vehicular speeds of 10 km/hr,20 km/hr,and 30 km/hr are analyzed using statistical features such as kurtosis,magnitude of peak-to-peak,root mean square,crest factor as well as impulse factor in time domain,and Stockwell transform in the time-frequency domain.The considered statistical features except for kurtosis show uncertain behavior.The Stockwell transform showed low-resolution outcomes when the presence of noise in the recorded vibration responses.The elimination of noise and extraction of meaningful dynamic properties from the vibration responses is done by applying a new method which comes from the fusion of Hilbert transform with Spectral kurtosis and bandpass filtering.The outcomes obtained from Hilbert transform processed residual signals which are further filtered using bandpass filter show more robustness and accuracy in characterizing bridge modal frequencies from the noisy vibration responses.The proposed method produces a high-resolution frequency response which can unveil the joint discrepancy in the bridge structure.

A technique to improve the empirical mode decomposition in the Hilbert-Huang transform

The Hilbert-based time-frequency analysis has promising capacity to reveal the time-variant behaviors of a sys- tem.To admit well-behaved Hilbert transforms,component decomposition of signals must be performed beforehand.This was first systematically implemented by the empirical mode decomposition(EMD)in the Hilbert-Huang transform,which can provide a time-frequency representation of the signals.The EMD,however,has limitations in distinguishing different components in narrowband signals commonly found in free-decay vibration signals.In this study,a technique for decompo- sing components in narrowband signals based on waves' beating phenomena is proposed to improve the EMD,in which the time scale structure of the signal is unveiled by the Hilbert transform as a result of wave beating,the order of component ex- traction is reversed from that in the EMD and the end effect is confined.The proposed technique is verified by performing the component decomposition of a simulated signal and a free decay signal actually measured in an instrumented bridge structure.In addition,the adaptability of the technique to time-variant dynamic systems is demonstrated with a simulated time-variant MDOF system.

Mode Recognition of Lamb Wave Detecting Signals in Metal Plate Using the Hilbert-Huang Transform Method

The dispersion and multiple modes characteristics which exist in the propagation of Lamb waves (LW) in metal plates make it extremely hard to analyze and recognize the detection echo signals of defects. As a newly developed time-frequency analysis method in recent years, Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is one of the powerful tools to analyze non-stationary signals. The experimental LW detecting system for single aluminum plate is setup in this work, and the LW detecting signals are analyzed by HHT. The overlapped LW detecting signals of different modes are recognized by the means of extracting flight time of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) after Hilbert transform (HT). The experiment results, agreeing well with the theoretical analysis, indicate that the HHT method can clearly recognize overlapped LW detecting signals of different modes in metal plates, but could hardly recognize that of the same mode. HHT can be an effective method to recognize LW detecting signals of different modes in metal plates.

由于长时间处于高负荷运行状态,永磁同步电机(permanent magnet synchronous motor, PMSM)定子绕组线圈匝与匝之间的绝缘性能容易降低,导致出现匝间短路,此时电机的振动强度会发生改变。针对此现象,提出将自适应噪声完备经验模态分解(complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise, CEEMDAN)与希尔伯特变换(Hilbert transform, HT)结合,构成一种CEEMDAN-HT非线性信号分析方法,并将其应用于提取振动信号故障特征。首先,利用CEEMDAN算法分解振动信号,得到一系列本征模态函数(intrinsic mode function, IMF),并将主元分析中的方差贡献率用于识别包含故障特征信息的IMF。其次,使用HT对方差贡献率较高的IMF进行分析,并以三维联合时频图呈现时间、瞬时频率与幅值,得到了主要故障特征。最后,使用ANSYS有限元软件建立了电机短路故障模型,并搭建了短路故障试验平台,通过对比有限元仿真结果与试验结果,对提出的方法进行了有效性和准确性验证。
