Vibration-based damage assessment is a powerful tool in this regard, as it relies on changes in a structure’s dynamic characteristics as it degrades. By measuring the vibration response of a bridge due to passing vehicles, this approach can identify potential structural damage. This dissertation introduces a novel technique grounded in Vehicle-Bridge Interaction (VBI) to evaluate bridge health. It aims to detect damage by analyzing the response of passing vehicles, taking into account VBI. The theoretical foundation of this method begins with representing the bridge’s superstructure using a Finite Element Model and employing a half-car dynamic model to simulate the vehicle with suspension. Two sets of motion equations, one for the bridge and one for the vehicle are generated using the Finite Element Method, mode superposition, and D’Alembert’s principle. The combined dynamics are solved using the Newmark-beta method, accounting for road surface roughness. A new approach for damage identification based on the response of passing vehicles is proposed. The response is theoretically composed of vehicle frequency, bridge natural frequency, and a pseudo-frequency component related to vehicle speed. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method is applied to decompose the signal into its constituent parts, and damage detection relies on the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) corresponding to the vehicle speed component. This technique effectively identifies various damage scenarios considered in the study.展开更多

In t...Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) is an effective Non-Destructive Testing(NDT) technique for highway pavement surveys, which is able to acquire continuous pavement data compared with traditional core drilling method. In this study, we proposed an accurate and efficient method to estimate the thickness of each pavement layer using an air-coupled GPR system. For this work, the main difficulties are estimating each pavement layer's time delay and dielectric constant. We first give the basic signal model for pavement evaluation, and then present an Intrinsic Mode Functions(IMFs) product detector to determine each pavement layer's time delay. This method is based on Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD), which is an adaptive signal decomposition procedure and proved to be suitable for suppressing noises in GPR signal. The dielectric constant was determined by metal reflection measurement. The laboratory and highway experiments illustrate that the proposed thickness estimation method yields reasonable result, thus meets the requirements of practical highway pavement survey with massive GPR data.展开更多

Instead of directly averaging the upper and lower envelopes, as suggested by the original EMD method, the proposed technique computes the local mean curve of a signal by interpolating a set of 'local centroids', which are integral averages over local segments between successive extrema of the signal. With the 'centroid'-based sifting, EMD is capable of separating intrinsic modes of oscillatory components with their frequency ratio ν even up to 0.8, thus greatly mitigating the effect of mode mixing and enhancing the frequency resolving power. Inspection is also made to show that the integral property of the 'centroid'-based sifting can make the decomposition more stable against noise interference.展开更多

Two aspects of the EEMD, the amplitude of added white noise and the number of intrinsic mode functions(IMFs), are discussed in this method. The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) is used to measure the amplitude of added noise and the winning number of IMFs(which results most frequency) is used to unify the number of IMFs. By this method, the calculation speed of decomposition is improved, and the relative error between original data and sum of decompositions is reduced. In addition, the feasibility and effectiveness of this method are proved by the example of the oceanic internal solitary wave.展开更多

文摘Load forecasting is critical for a variety of applications in modern energy systems.Nonetheless,forecasting is a difficult task because electricity load profiles are tied with uncertain,non-linear,and non-stationary signals.To address these issues,long short-term memory(LSTM),a machine learning algorithm capable of learning temporal dependencies,has been extensively integrated into load forecasting in recent years.To further increase the effectiveness of using LSTM for demand forecasting,this paper proposes a hybrid prediction model that incorporates LSTM with empirical mode decomposition(EMD).EMD algorithm breaks down a load time-series data into several sub-series called intrinsic mode functions(IMFs).For each of the derived IMFs,a different LSTM model is trained.Finally,the outputs of all the individual LSTM learners are fed to a meta-learner to provide an aggregated output for the energy demand prediction.The suggested methodology is applied to the California ISO dataset to demonstrate its applicability.Additionally,we compare the output of the proposed algorithm to a single LSTM and two state-of-the-art data-driven models,specifically XGBoost,and logistic regression(LR).The proposed hybrid model outperforms single LSTM,LR,and XGBoost by,35.19%,54%,and 49.25%for short-term,and 36.3%,34.04%,32%for longterm prediction in mean absolute percentage error,respectively.

文摘Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) is an effective Non-Destructive Testing(NDT) technique for highway pavement surveys, which is able to acquire continuous pavement data compared with traditional core drilling method. In this study, we proposed an accurate and efficient method to estimate the thickness of each pavement layer using an air-coupled GPR system. For this work, the main difficulties are estimating each pavement layer's time delay and dielectric constant. We first give the basic signal model for pavement evaluation, and then present an Intrinsic Mode Functions(IMFs) product detector to determine each pavement layer's time delay. This method is based on Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD), which is an adaptive signal decomposition procedure and proved to be suitable for suppressing noises in GPR signal. The dielectric constant was determined by metal reflection measurement. The laboratory and highway experiments illustrate that the proposed thickness estimation method yields reasonable result, thus meets the requirements of practical highway pavement survey with massive GPR data.

文摘To explore the influence of the fusion of different features on recognition,this paper took the electromyography(EMG)signals of rectus femoris under different motions(walk,step,ramp,squat,and sitting)as samples,linear features(time-domain features(variance(VAR)and root mean square(RMS)),frequency-domain features(mean frequency(MF)and mean power frequency(MPF)),and nonlinear features(empirical mode decomposition(EMD))of the samples were extracted.Two feature fusion algorithms,the series splicing method and complex vector method,were designed,which were verified by a double hidden layer(BP)error back propagation neural network.Results show that with the increase of the types and complexity of feature fusions,the recognition rate of the EMG signal to actions is gradually improved.When the EMG signal is used in the series splicing method,the recognition rate of time-domain+frequency-domain+empirical mode decomposition(TD+FD+EMD)splicing is the highest,and the average recognition rate is 92.32%.And this rate is raised to 96.1%by using the complex vector method,and the variance of the BP system is also reduced.
文摘Air pollution is a severe environmental problem in urban areas.Accurate air quality prediction can help governments and individuals make proper decisions to cope with potential air pollution.As a classic time series forecasting model,the AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average(ARIMA)has been widely adopted in air quality prediction.However,because of the volatility of air quality and the lack of additional context information,i.e.,the spatial relationships among monitor stations,traditional ARIMA models suffer from unstable prediction performance.Though some deep networks can achieve higher accuracy,a mass of training data,heavy computing,and time cost are required.In this paper,we propose a hybrid model to simultaneously predict seven air pollution indicators from multiple monitoring stations.The proposed model consists of three components:(1)an extended ARIMA to predict matrix series of multiple air quality indicators from several adjacent monitoring stations;(2)the Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD)to decompose the air quality time series data into multiple smooth sub-series;and(3)the truncated Singular Value Decomposition(SvD)to compress and denoise the expanded matrix.Experimental results on the public dataset show that our proposed model outperforms the state-of-art air quality forecasting models in both accuracy and time cost.

文摘In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of ammonia(NH3)concentration prediction,which can provides a support to the ventilation control strategy,so as to reduce the impact of NH3 on the health and productivity of swine,this paper proposed an NH3 concentration prediction method based on Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD)and Elman neural network modelling.The NH3 concentration and other four environmental parameters including temperature,humidity,carbon dioxide and light intensity were decomposed into several different time-scale intrinsic mode functions(IMFs).Then,the Elman neural network prediction model was used to predict each IMF.The predicted NH3 was obtained by reconstructing all the IMFs by EMD.The results show that for the proposed method,the determination coefficient between the predicted and real measured value is 0.9856,the Mean Absolute Error is 0.7088 ppm,the Root Mean Square Error is 0.9096 ppm,and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error is 0.41%.Compared with the Elman neural network,the proposed method has a good improvement in the accuracy,and provide effective parameters for the environmental monitoring of the swine house and the regulation of the NH3 concentration.

文摘The radiation pressure signals generated by the bubble oscillation are often utilized to recognize the characteristics of the target objects in many fields.However,these signals are easily contaminated by complex background noises.In order to accurately extract the effective components of the radiation pressure signal generated by the bubble oscillation,this paper proposes a de-noising procedure for the radiation pressure signal,based on the ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD),the autocorrelation function and the modified wavelet soft-threshold de-noising method.In order to verify the effectiveness of the procedure,the typical radiation pressure signal generated based on the Keller-Miksis model under the acoustic excitation is employed for the subsequent de-noising analysis.The results of the qualitative analysis show that the amplitude and the period of the bubble oscillation can be clearly observed in the time-domain diagram of the de-noised signal based on the EEMD.In the quantitative analysis,the de-noised signal based on the EEMD has better performance with higher signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),smaller root-mean-square error,and larger correlation coefficient than that based on the wavelet transform(WT)and the empirical mode decomposition(EMD).Furthermore,with the increase of the complexity of the radiation pressure signal(e.g.,the increase of the dimensionless pressure amplitude of the acoustic wave and the decrease of the SNR of the input signal),the above three evaluation indexes of the de-noised signal based on the EEMD are all better than those based on the other two methods.When the signal is more complex,the de-noising capabilities of the WT,the EMD are greatly reduced,but the EEMD can still maintain the good de-noising capability,which shows the superiority of the signal de-noising procedure proposed in the present paper.

文摘A novel sifting method based on the concept of the 'local centroids' of a signal is developed for empirical mode decomposition (EMD), with the aim of reducing the mode-mixing effect and decomposing those modes whose frequencies are within an octave. Instead of directly averaging the upper and lower envelopes, as suggested by the original EMD method, the proposed technique computes the local mean curve of a signal by interpolating a set of 'local centroids', which are integral averages over local segments between successive extrema of the signal. With the 'centroid'-based sifting, EMD is capable of separating intrinsic modes of oscillatory components with their frequency ratio ν even up to 0.8, thus greatly mitigating the effect of mode mixing and enhancing the frequency resolving power. Inspection is also made to show that the integral property of the 'centroid'-based sifting can make the decomposition more stable against noise interference.

文摘Landforms with similar surface matter compositions,endogenic and exogenic forces,and development histories tend to exhibit significant degrees of self-similarity in morphology and spatial variation.In loess hill-gully areas,ridges and hills have similar topographic relief characteristics and present nearly periodic variations of similar repeating structures at certain spatial scales,which is termed the topographic relief period(TRP).This is a relatively new concept,which is different from the degree of relief,and describes the fluctuations of the terrain from both horizontal and vertical(cross-section)perspectives,which can be used for in-depth analysis of 2-D topographic relief features.This technique provides a new perspective for understanding the macro characteristics and differentiation patterns of loess landforms.We investigate TRP variation features of different landforms on the Loess Plateau,China,by extracting catchment boundary profiles(CBPs)from 5 m resolution digital elevation model(DEM)data.These profiles were subjected to temporal-frequency analysis using the ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD)method.The results showed that loess landforms are characterized by significant regional topographic relief;the CBP of 14 sample areas exhibited an overall pattern of decreasing TRPs and increasing topographic relief spatial frequencies from south to north.According to the TRPs and topographic relief characteristics,the topographic relief of the Loess Plateau was divided into four types that have obvious regional differences.The findings of this study enrich the theories and methods for digital terrain data analysis of the Loess Plateau.Future study should undertake a more in-depth investigation regarding the complexity of the region and to address the limitations of the EEMD method.
文摘Breast cancer is one of the major health problems that leads to early mortality in women.To aid the radiologists,computer aided diagnosis provides a second opinion for the detection and classification of breast cancer.In this paper,two texture feature extraction methods using Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD)have been proposed to classify the masses in mammogram images into benign or malignant.The first feature extraction method is based on Bi-dimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition(BEMD).On performing BEMD on Region of Interest(ROI)of mammogram image,the ROI is decomposed into a set of different frequency components called Bi-dimensional Intrinsic Mode Functions(BIMFs).Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix(GLCM)and Gray Level Run Length Matrix(GLRM)features are extracted from these BIMFs and are given as input to the classifier for classification into benign or malignant.Due to the mode mixing problem that exists in BEMD,BIMFs obtained from BEMD are less orthogonal to each other.To overcome this drawback,the second feature extraction method called Modified Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition(MBEMD)is proposed.The BIMFs are extracted by employing the proposed MBEMD on mammogram ROI.Features are extracted in a similar way as BEMD method.Support Vector Machine(SVM)and Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA)classifiers are used for the classification of mammogram mass.The classification accuracy of 88.8%,96.2%and Area Under the Curve(AUC)of Receiver Operating Characteristics(ROC)of 0.9,0.96 are obtained with SVM classifier for BEMD,proposed MBEMD based features respectively.The results show that the proposed method yields consistent performance when applied across different databases.

文摘In the process of cutting,the relative vibration between the cutter and the workpiece has an important effect on the surface topography.In this study,the bidimensional empirical mode decomposition(BEMD)method is used to identify such effect.According to Riesz transform theory,a type of isotropic monogenic signal is proposed.The boundary data is extended on the basis of a similarity principle that deals with serious boundary effect problem.The decomposition examples show that the improved BEMD can effectively solve the problem of boundary effect and decompose the original machined surface topography at multiple scales.The characteristic surface topography representing the relative vibration between the cutter and the workpiece through feature identification is selected.In addition,the spatial spectrum analysis of the extracted profile is carried out.The decimal part of the frequency ratio that has an important effect on the shape of the contour can be accurately identified through contour extraction and spatial spectrum analysis.The decomposition results of simulation and experimental surface morphology demonstrate the validity of the improved BEMD algorithm in realizing the relative vibration identification between the cutter and the workpiece.

文摘In this paper a modified ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD) method is presented, which is named winning-EEMD(W-EEMD). Two aspects of the EEMD, the amplitude of added white noise and the number of intrinsic mode functions(IMFs), are discussed in this method. The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) is used to measure the amplitude of added noise and the winning number of IMFs(which results most frequency) is used to unify the number of IMFs. By this method, the calculation speed of decomposition is improved, and the relative error between original data and sum of decompositions is reduced. In addition, the feasibility and effectiveness of this method are proved by the example of the oceanic internal solitary wave.
文摘Accurate measurements of solar radiation are required to ensure that power and energy systems continue to function effectively and securely.On the other hand,estimating it is extremely challenging due to the non-stationary behaviour and randomness of its components.In this research,a novel hybrid forecasting model,namely complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise-Gaussian process regression(CEEMDAN-GPR),has been developed for daily global solar radiation prediction.The non-stationary global solar radiation series is transformed by CEEMDAN into regular subsets.After that,the GPR model uses these subsets as inputs to perform its prediction.According to the results of this research,the performance of the developed hybrid model is superior to two widely used hybrid models for solar radiation forecasting,namely wavelet-GPR and wavelet packet-GPR,in terms of mean square error,root mean square error,coefficient of determination and relative root mean square error values,which reached 3.23 MJ/m^(2)/day,1.80 MJ/m^(2)/day,95.56%,and 8.80%,respectively(for one-step forward forecasting).The proposed hybrid model can be used to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the electricity system.
