Characteristics analysis of muzzle impulse noise based on wavelet energy spectrum

Because muzzle impulse noise could cause damage to or have an intluence on the operator, tiae ettecnve protecnve measures should be taken. Therefore, correct analysis of impulse noise characteristics is very significant. Considering the shortcomings of fast Fourier transform method （FFT） in analysis of muzzle impulse noise frequency characteristics, wavelet energy spectrum method is put forward. Based on specific experiment data, the frequency characteristics and spectral energy dis tribution can be obtained. The experiment results show that wavelet energy spectrum method is applicable in muzzle impulse noise characteristic analysis.

An improved joint method for onset picking of acoustic emission signals with noise

The onset times of acoustic signals with spikes,heavy bodies and unclear takeoffs are difficult to be picked accurately by the automatic method at present.To deal with this problem,an improved joint method based on the discrete wavelet transform(DWT),modified energy ratio(MER)and Akaike information criterion(AIC)pickers,has been proposed in this study.First,the DWT is used to decompose the signal into various components.Then,the joint application of MER and AIC pickers is carried out to pick the initial onset times of all selected components,where the minimum AIC position ahead of MER onset time is regarded as the initial onset time.Last,the average for initial onset times of all selected components is calculated as the final onset time of this signal.This improved joint method is tested and validated by the acoustic signals with different signal to noise ratios(SNRs)and waveforms.The results show that the improved joint method is not affected by the variations of SNR,and the onset times picked by this method are always accurate in different SNRs.Moreover,the onset times of all acoustic signals with spikes,heavy bodies and unclear takeoffs can be accurately picked by the improved joint method.Compared to some other methods including MER,AIC,DWT-MER and DWT-AIC,the improved joint method has better SNR stabilities and waveform adaptabilities.

Application of Wavelet Packet Energy Spectrum to Extract the Feature of the Pulse Signal

The wavelet packet is presented as a new kind of multiscale analysis technique followed by Wavelet analysis. The fundamental and realization arithmetic of the wavelet packet analysis method are described in this paper. A new application approach of the wavelet packed method to extract the feature of the pulse signal from energy distributing angle is expatiated. It is convenient for the microchip to process and judge by using the wavelet packet analysis method to make the pulse signals quantized and analyzed. Kinds of experiments are simulated in the lab, and the experiments prove that it is a convenient and accurate method to extract the feature of the pulse signal based on wavelet packed-energy spectrumanalysis.

The Change of Spectral Energy Distribution of Surface EMG Signal During Forearm Action Process

Spectral energy distribution of surface EMG signal is often used but difficultly and effectively control artificial limb, because the spectral energy distribution changes in the process of limb actions. In this paper, the general characteristics of surface EMG signal patterns were firstly characterized by spectral energy change. 13 healthy subjects were instructed to execute forearm supination （FS） and forearm pronation （FP） with their right foreanns when their forearm muscles were ＂fatigue＂ or ＂relaxed＂. All surface EMG signals were recorded from their right forearm flexor during their right forearm actions. Two sets of surface EMG signals were segmented from every surface EMG signal appropriately at preparing stage and acting stage. Relative wavelet packet energy （symbolized by pnp and pna respectively at preparing stage and acting stage, n denotes the nth frequency band） of surface EMG signal firstly was calculated and then, the difference （Pn = Pna-Pnp） were gained. The results showed that Pn from some frequency bands can effectively characterize the general characteristics of surface EMG signal patterns. Compared with Pn in other frequency bands, P4, the spectral energy change from 93.75 to 125 Hz, was more appropriately regarded as the features.
