The Hilbert-Huang transformation technology is a set of superior algorithms non-stationary signals and also for analyzing non-linear and offers increased accuracy for linear and stationary signals. However, the signals are filtered by reconstruction from ＂＇selected＂ intrinsic mode functions （IMFs）, derived from the original signal through the empirical mode decomposition method. The proposed filtering technique offers the criterion for selecting the IMFs using the orthogonalization coefficient. In addition, a simple free vibration modal analysis has been resolved for the evaluation of the modal damping ratio. Through the enhanced filtering, it is possible to increase the accuracy for the estimation of the time-varying system＇s natural frequency and the damping ratio, indicative of the degree of damage, which helps an effective design of a control system.展开更多
