Reliable strength assessment of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cargo containment system under the sloshing impact load is very difficult task due to the complexity of the physics involved in, both in terms of the hydrodynamics and structural mechanics. Out of all those complexities, the proper selection of the design sloshing load which is applied to the structural model of the LNG cargo containment system, is one of the most challenging one due to its inherent randomness as well as the statistical analysis which is tightly linked to the design sloshing load selection. In this study, the response based strength assessment procedure of LNG cargo containment system has been developed and proposed as an alternative design methodology. Sloshing pressure time history, measured from the model test, is decomposed into wavelet basis function targeting the minimization of the number of the basis function together with the maximization of the numerical efficiency. Then the response of the structure is obtained using the finite element method under each wavelet basis function of different scale. Finally, the response of the structure under entire sloshing impact time history is rapidly calculated by synthesizing the structural response under wavelet basis function. Through this analysis, more realistic response of the system under sloshing impact pressure can be obtained without missing the details of pressure time history such as rising pattern, oscillation due to air entrapment and decay pattern and so on. The strength assessment of the cargo containment system is then performed based on the statistical analysis of the stress peaks selected out of the obtained stress time history.

An iterative robust control design for PZT using Gaussian wavelet networks is proposed. A Gaussian wavelet network with accurate approximation capability is employed to approximate the nonlinear hysteresis dynamics of PZT systems by using an iterative control algorithm. Depending on the finite number of wavelet basis functions which results in unavoidable approximation errors, a robust control law is provided to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop nano positioning system. Finally, the effectiveness of the robust control approach is illustrated through comparative simulations on a PZT.

본 논문은 시변 맥스웰 방정식에 기초한 웨이브릿-갤러킨 설계를 제안하였다. 두 개의 모멘트 함수가 0 이 되는 Daubechies 웨이브릿 함수를 기저함수로 전개하고 Yee가 제안한 Leap-frog 접근법을 적용하였다. D Daubechies 웨이브릿의 변위된 보간 특성을 이용하여 적분이나 매체 연산자에 대한 부가적인 행렬이 필요없 는 방정식을 유도하였다 안정화 조건을 유도하고 분산특성을 분석한 후 유한차분 시간영역법과 다해상도 시 간영역법의 결과와 비교하였고. 분산특성의 분석을 통해 기저함수의 정규성(Regularity)과 받침폭(Support width) 사이의 균형을 확인했다. 기저함수가 단 2개의 0이 되는 웨이브릿 모멘트 함수를 가지지만. 이는 수치 해석 상에서 무시할 수 있는 분산 오류를 수반하였고, 컴팩트 받침(Compact support)에 의해 노드 당 적은 수의 계수만이 고려되었다. 제안된 설계의 저장계수의 효율, 실행 시간의 감소와 정확도를 균일 공진기와 비 균일 공진기의 공진주파수 해석을 통해 검증하였다.

Donoho et al. suggested a wavelet thresholding denoising method based on discrete wavelet transform. This paper proposes an improved denoising method using a new thresholding function based on translation-invariant wavelet for underwater acoustic measurement. The conventional wavelet thresholding denoising method causes Pseudo-Gibbs phenomena near singularities due to the lack of translation-invariant of the wavelet basis. To suppress Pseudo-Gibbs phenomena, a denoising method combining a new thresholding function based on the translation-invariant wavelet transform is proposed in this paper. The new thresholding function is a modified hard-thresholding to each node according to the discriminated threshold so as to reject unknown external noise and white gaussian noise. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively eliminate noise, extract characteristic information of radiated noise signals.

Recently, an approximation of a wavelet series has been developed in the analyses of an unknown function. Most of articles have been studied on thresholding and shrinkage methods for its wavelet coefficients based on (non)parametric and Bayesian methods when the sample size is considered as a maximum resolution in wavelet series. In this paper, regardless of the sample size, we are focusing only on the choice of a maximum resolution in wavelet series. We propose a Bayesian approach to the choice of a maximum resolution based on the linear combination of the wavelet basis functions.

Mallat has shown that, with a proper choice of wavelet function, the local maxima of wavelet transformed signal indicate a sharp variation in the signal. Since the glottal closure causes sharp discontinuities in the speech signal, dyadic wavelet transform can be useful for detecting abrupt change in the voiced sounds, i.e., epochs. In this paper, we investigate the glottal closure instants obtained from the wavelet analysis of speech signal and compare them with those obtained from the EGG signal. Then, we detect pitch period of speech signal on the basis of these results. Experimental results demonstrated that local maxima of wavelet transformed signal give accurate estimation of epoch and pitch periods of voiced sound obtained by the proposed algorithm also correspond to those from EGG well.

A wavelet based approach is proposed for structural damage detection in beams, plate and delamination of composite plates. Wavelet theory is applied here for crack identification of a beam element with a transverse on edge non-propagating open crack. Finite difference method was used for generating a general displacement equation for the cracked beam in the first example. In the second and third example, damage is detected from the deformed shape of a loaded simply supported plate applying the wavelet theory. Delamination in composite plate is identified using wavelet theory in the fourth example. The main concept used is the breaking down of the dynamic signal of a structural response into a series of local basis function called wavelets, so as to detect the special characteristics of the structure by scaling and transformation property of wavelets. In the light of the results obtained, limitations of the proposed method as well as suggestions for future work are presented. Results show great promise of wavelet approach for damage detection and structural health monitoring.

In this paper, we present a novel approach for the structure of Fuzzy Neural Network(FNN) based on wavelet function and apply this network structure to the modeling of chaotic nonlinear systems. Generally, the wavelet fuzzy model(WFM) has the advantage of the wavelet transform by constituting the fuzzy basis function(FBF) and the conclusion part to equalize the linear combination of FBF with the linear combination of wavelet functions. However, it is very difficult to identify the fuzzy rules and to tune the membership functions of the fuzzy reasoning mechanism. Neural networks, on the other hand, utilize their learning capability for automatic identification and tuning. Therefore, we design a wavelet based FNN structure(WFNN) that merges these advantages of neural network, fuzzy model and wavelet transform. The basic idea of our wavelet based FNN is to realize the process of fuzzy reasoning of wavelet fuzzy system by the structure of a neural network and to make the parameters of fuzzy reasoning be expressed by the connection weights of a neural network. And our network can automatically identify the fuzzy rules by modifying the connection weights of the networks via the gradient descent scheme. To verify the efficiency of our network structure, we evaluate the modeling performance for chaotic nonlinear systems and compare it with those of the FNN and the WFM.
