In this study, the counting method for multi-axial and multi-point load states was proposed. Using this counting method, the load spectrum is generated from the service load history which is measured for boom structure of excavator. Loading state for loading points of boom structure is described as a multi-dimensional state space. From this load spectrum, the stress spectrum was generated by FEM analysis using the superposition of the unit load. The cumulated damage at the severe damage point of In nm structure by the failure example is calculated by Palmgren-Miner's rule. As a result of this study, the fatigue life estimation using the multi-axial and multi-point load counting method is useful.

In the speech recognition under the noisy environments, reducing the mismatch introduced between training and testing environments is an important issue. Spectral subtraction is widely used technique because of its simplicity and relatively good performance in noisy environments. In this paper, we introduce histogram method as a reliable noise estimation approach for spectral subtraction. This method has advantages over the conventional noise estimation methods in that it does not need to detect non-speech intervals and it can estimate the noise spectra even in time-varying noise environments. Even though spectral subtraction is performed using a reliable average noise spectrum by the histogram method, considerable amount of residual noise remains due to the variations of instantaneous noise spectrum about mean. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new over-estimation technique based on distribution characteristics of histogram used for noise estimation. Since the proposed technique decides the degree of over-estimation adaptively according to the measured noise distribution, it has advantages to be few the influence of the SNR variation on the noise levels. According to speaker-independent isolated word recognition experiments in car noise environment under various SNR conditions, the proposed histogram-based over-estimation technique outperforms the conventional over-estimation technique.

In this paper, we propose a new noise estimation and reduction algorithm for stationary and nonstationary noisy environments. This approach uses an algorithm that classifies the speech and noise signal contributions in time-frequency bins. It relies on the ratio of the normalized standard deviation of the noisy power spectrum in time-frequency bins to its average. If the ratio is greater than an adaptive estimator, speech is considered to be present. The propose method uses an auto control parameter for an adaptive estimator to work well in highly nonstationary noisy environments. The auto control parameter is controlled by a linear function using a posteriori signal to noise ratio(SNR) according to the increase or the decrease of the noise level. The estimated clean speech power spectrum is obtained by a modified gain function and the updated noisy power spectrum of the time-frequency bin. This new algorithm has the advantages of much more simplicity and light computational load for estimating the stationary and nonstationary noise environments. The proposed algorithm is superior to conventional methods. To evaluate the algorithm's performance, we test it using the NOIZEUS database, and use the segment signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and ITU-T P.835 as evaluation criteria.

In this paper, a scheme of noise cancellation using spectral subreaction method with single input in an autombile noise environment is proposed. In order to remove the changing automonile noise components form the noisy speech signal, the noise of various states is analyzed and its characteristics are presented. For the decision of speech/nonspeech and the estimation of noise spectrum, a classification function is proposed on the basis of noise analysis. This function presents the precise decision of speech/nonspeech and the optimal estimation of noise spectrum with less computation. As the result of the estimation of noise spectrum by the proposed classification function, the clean speech signal is extracted from the noisy speech signal with high signal-to-ratio.

It is necessary to estimate the range and Doppler shifted spectrum for the extraction of useful information from the return echoes in the frequency modulated continuous wave radar systems used for the remote sending purpose such as detection of moving targets. However, the spectrum estimation using the FFT method causes the very large sidolobes of clutter masking the essential signal information if the acquisition time of an echo signal is pretty short. Therefore, in this paper, the efficient data windowing method is investigated to suppress the strong sidelobe levels of the clutter and results are analyzed.

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive MIMO switching algorithm that provides the optimal trade-off between throughput and reliability of data in MIMO system. The proposed algorithm is based on the variable packet error predictor which is robust for channel estimation error, and we show that our algorithm has a better spectrum efficiency than the conventional MIMO switching techniques about 8 percent point.

This paper presents a new numerical algorithm for the fault location estimation and arcing fault detection when a single-phase arcing ground fault occurs on a transmission line. The proposed algorithm derived in the spectrum domain is based on the synchronized voltage and current samples measured from the PMUs(Phasor Measurement Units) installed at both ends of the transmission lines. In this paper, the algorithm uses DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) for estimation. The algorithm uses a short data window for real-time transmission line protection. Also, from the calculated arc voltage amplitude, a decision can be made whether the fault is permanent or transient. The proposed algorithm is tested through computer simulation to show its effectiveness.

This paper presents a Doppler shift estimation method and signal processing schemes for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) transmission to overcome the Doppler shift due to the moving of the underwater communication unit. The proposed method estimates a Doppler shift via 2 step procedures using the preamble with the two 64-length Frank sequences which has a good self-correlation characteristic and is insensitive to the Doppler shift. Furthermore, a packet of DSSS underwater mobile communication and a RAKE receiver are designed using the proposed Doppler shift estimation method. Due to the modulation scheme of the designed DSSS underwater mobile communication using Differential-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) for the data symbol transmission, the RAKE receiver dose not need a phase tracking and easily makes coherent signals among the combining RAKE branches. The designed RAKE receiving scheme including the proposed Doppler shift estimation method successfully decides information data using the DSSS signal transmitted from the pseudo-moving transmitter with velocity upto about 17.5 m/s.

We consider fractional Brownian motion and FARIMA process with Gaussian innovations and show that the suitably scaled distributions of the FARIMA processes converge to fractional Brownian motion in the sense of finite dimensional distributions. We figure out ACF function and estimate the self-similarity parameter H of FARIMA(0, d, 0) by using R/S method. Finally, we display power spectrum density of FARIMA process.

This whitening filter has the feedback from the output to the input of adaptive transversal filter and is superior to conventional LMS whitening filter in respect to SNR and power spectrum since the calculation of tap weight is based on maximum likelihood estimation
