Empirical mode decomposition(EMD) method has been recently proposed to analyze non-linear and non-stationary data. This method allows the decomposition of one-dimensional signals into intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) and is used to calculate a meaningful multi-component instantaneous frequency. In this paper, it is assumed that each mode of damped vibration signal could be well separated in the form of IMF by EMD. In this case, we can have a new powerful method to calculate natural frequencies and dampings from damped vibration signal which usually has multiple modes. This proposed method has been verified by both simulation and experiment. The result by EMD method which has used only output vibration data is almost identical to the result by FRF method which has used both input and output data, thereby proving usefulness and accuracy of the proposed method.

For the safe and stable operation of the power system, accurate wind power prediction is of great significance. A wind power prediction method based on empirical mode decomposition and improved extreme learning machine is proposed in this paper. Firstly, wind power time series is decomposed into several components with different frequency by empirical mode decomposition, which can reduce the non-stationary of time series. The components after decomposing remove the long correlation and promote the different local characteristics of original wind power time series. Secondly, an improved extreme learning machine prediction model is introduced to overcome the sample data updating disadvantages of standard extreme learning machine. Different improved extreme learning machine prediction model of each component is established. Finally, the prediction value of each component is superimposed to obtain the final result. Compared with other prediction models, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed prediction method has better prediction accuracy for wind power.

Recent developments in underwater image recognition methods have received large attention by the ocean engineering researchers. In this paper, an improved bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) approach is employed to decompose the given underwater image into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and residual. We developed a joint algorithm based on BEMD and Canny operator to extract multi-pixel edge features at multiple scales in IMFs sub-images. So the multiple pixel edge extraction is an advantage of our approach; the other contribution of this method is the realization of the bi-dimensional sifting process, which is realized utilizing regional-based operators to detect local extreme points and constructing radial basis function for curve surface interpolation. The performance of the multi-pixel edge extraction algorithm for processing underwater image is demonstrated in the contrast experiment with both the proposed method and the phase congruency edge detection.

최근 기후변화로 인한 자연재해가 증가하면서 강수 및 기온자료의 시계열에 대한 변동성과 추세를 분석하여 그 변화를 예측하는 연구의 필요성이 점점 커지고 있다. 하지만 강수나 기온의 경우 복합적인 요소에 의해 변동이 일어나 자료의 변동성이 매우 심하고 너무 많은 요소를 포함하게 되어 그 특성을 정확히 판단하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 자료의 시계열을 분해하게 되면 각 특성을 가진 요소를 추출할 수 있으므로, 정확한 변동 특성을 파악할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 강수 및 기온자료를 경험적 모드분해법(Empirical Mode Decomposition, EMD)을 통해 주기별로 분해하여 각각의 내재모드함수(Intrinsic Mode Function, IMF)를 추출하였다. 또한, 추출된 내재모드함수의 에너지 밀도를 이용한 유의성 검정을 통해 원자료로부터 유의미한 자료를 포함하고 있는 내재모드함수를 선별하고, 이들의 주기성, 경향성을 분석하였다.

현실세계에서 관찰되는 시그널(signal)은 다양한 주파수(frequency)들의 시그널로 혼합되어 있는 경우가 많다. 예를 들어 태양 흑점 자료의 경우 약 11년 주기와 85년 주기로 변동한다는 사실은 널리 알려져 있다. 또한 경제 시계열 자료의 경우는 통상적으로 계절요인(seasonal component), 순환요인(cyclic component) 그리고 장기적인 추세요인(long-term trend)으로 분해하여 분석한다. 이러한 시계열 자료를 구성요소별로 분해하는 것은 오래된 주제중 하나이다. 전통적인 시계열자료 분석기법으로 스펙트럴 분석기법 등이 널리 사용되고 있으나 시계열 자료들이 비정상(nonstationary)일 경우에는 적용하기 어렵다. Huang et. al(1998)은 경험적 모드분해법(empirical mode decomposition)이라고 하는 자료적응적인(data-adaptive) 방법을 제안하였는데, 비정상성(nonstationarity)에 대한 강건성(robustness)으로 여러 분야에 널리 응용되고 있다. 그러나 Huang et. at(1998)은 잡음(error)에 의해 오염된 자료에 대한 구체적인 처리방법은 제시하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문을 통하여 효율적인 잡음제거 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

In this paper, an adaptive MEMD based modal identification technique for linear time-invariant systems is proposed employing multiple vibration measurements. Traditional empirical mode decomposition (EMD) suffers from mode-mixing during sifting operations to identify intrinsic mode functions (IMF). MEMD performs better in this context as it considers multi-channel data and projects them into a n-dimensional hypercube to evaluate the IMFs. Using this technique, modal parameters of the structural system are identified. It is observed that MEMD has superior performance compared to its traditional counterpart. However, it still suffers from mild mode-mixing in higher modes where the energy contents are low. To avoid this problem, an adaptive filtering scheme is proposed to decompose the interfering modes. The Proposed modified scheme is then applied to vibrations of a reinforced concrete road bridge. Results presented in this study show that the proposed MEMD based approach coupled with the filtering technique can effectively identify the parameters of the dominant modes present in the structural response with a significant level of accuracy.

Identifying structural modal parameters, especially those modes within high frequency range, from ambient data is still a challenging problem due to various kinds of uncertainty involved in vibration measurements. A procedure applying an ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method is proposed for accurate and robust structural modal identification. In the proposed method, the EEMD process is first implemented to decompose the original ambient data to a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), which are zero-mean time series with energy in narrow frequency bands. Subsequently, a Sub-PolyMAX method is performed in narrow frequency bands by using IMFs as primary data for structural modal identification. The merit of the proposed method is that it performs structural identification in narrow frequency bands (take IMFs as primary data), unlike the traditional method in the whole frequency space (take original measurements as primary data), thus it produces more accurate identification results. A numerical example and a multiple-span continuous steel bridge have been investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper discusses the application of piezoelectric sensors used for evaluation of damping ratio of PVC plastics. The development of the mathematical formulation based on the Empirical Mode Decomposition for calculating the damping coefficient and natural frequency of the system is presented. A systematic experimental and analytical investigation was also carried out to demonstrate the integrity of several methods commonly used to evaluate the damping of materials based on a single degree freedom formulation. The influence of the sensors' location was also investigated. Besides the commonly used methods, a newly emerging time-frequency method, namely the Empirical Mode decomposition, is also employed. Mathematical formulations based on the Hilbert-Huang formulation, and a frequency spacing technique were also developed for establishing the natural frequency and damping ratio based on the output voltage of a single piezoelectric sensor. An experimental investigation was also conducted and the results were compared and verified with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), revealing good agreement.

Aiming at accurately distinguishing modeless component and natural vibration mode terms from data series of nonlinear and non-stationary processes, such as Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV), a new empirical mode decomposition method has been developed in this paper. The key innovation related to this technique concerns the method to decompose modeless component from non-stationary process, characterized by a predetermined 'maximum intrinsic time window' and cubic spline. The introduction of conceptual modeless component eliminates the requirement of using spurious harmonics to represent nonlinear and non-stationary signals and then makes subsequent modal identification more accurate and meaningful. It neither slacks the vibration power of natural modes nor aggrandizes spurious energy of modeless component. The scale of the maximum intrinsic time window has been well designed, avoiding energy aliasing in data processing. Finally, it has been applied to analyze data series of vortex-induced vibration processes. Taking advantage of this newly introduced empirical decomposition method and mode identification technique, the vibration analysis about vortex-induced vibration becomes more meaningful.
