A cantilever beam with a breathing crack is studied to improve the breathing crack identification sensitivity by the parametric optimization of sample entropy and wavelet transformation. Crack breathing is a special bi-linear phenomenon experienced by fatigue cracks which are under dynamic loadings. Entropy is a measure, which can quantify the complexity or irregularity in system dynamics, and hence employed to quantify the bi-linearity/irregularity of the vibration response, which is induced by the breathing phenomenon of a fatigue crack. To improve the sensitivity of entropy measurement for crack identification, wavelet transformation is merged with entropy. The crack identification is studied under different sinusoidal excitation frequencies of the cantilever beam. It is found that, for the excitation frequencies close to the first modal frequency of the beam structure, the method is capable of detecting only 22% of the crack depth percentage ratio with respect to the thickness of the beam. Using parametric optimization of sample entropy and wavelet transformation, this crack identification sensitivity is improved up to 8%. The experimental studies are carried out, and experimental results successfully validate the numerical parametric optimization process.

Better fundamental understanding of the interactions between the in-cylinder flows and combustion process is an important requirement for further improvement in the fuel economy and emissions of internal combustion(IC) engines. Flow near a spark plug at the time of ignition plays an important role for early flame kernel development(EFKD). Velocity data measurements in this study were made with a two-component laser Doppler velocimetry(LDV) near a spark plug in a single cylinder optical spark ignition(SI) engine with a heart-shaped combustion chamber. LDV velocity data were collected on an individual cycle basis under wide-open motored conditions with an engine speed of 1,000rpm. This study examines and compares the flow fields as interpreted through ensemble, cyclic and discrete wavelet transformation(DWT) analysis. The energy distributions in the non-stationary engine flows are also investigated over crank angle phase and frequency through continuous wavelet transformation(CWT) for a position near a spark plug. Wavelet analysis is appropriate for analyzing the flow fields in engines because it gives information about the transient events in a time and frequency plane. The results of CWT analysis are provided and compared with the mean flows of DWT first decomposition level for all cycles at a position. Low frequency high energy found with CWT corresponds well with the peak locations of the mean velocity. The high frequency flows caused by the intake jet gradually decay as the piston approaches the bottom dead center(BDC).

희박뷰 전산화단층촬영(computed tomography; CT) 영상화 기술은 피폭 방사선량을 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 획득한 투영상의 균일성을 유지하고 잡음을 감소시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만 재구성 영상 내 인공물 발생으로 인하여 화질 및 피사체 구조가 왜곡되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 희박뷰 CT 영상의 인공물 감소를 위해 wavelet 변환과 잔차 학습(residual learning)을 적용한 콘볼루션 신경망(convolutional neural network; CNN) 기반 영상화 모델을 개발하고, 개발한 모델을 통한 희박뷰 CT 영상의 인공물 감소 정도를 정량적으로 분석하였다. CNN은 wavelet 변환 층, 콘볼루션 층 및 역 wavelet 변환 층으로 구성하였으며, 희박뷰 CT 영상과 잔차 영상을 각각 입출력 영상으로 설정하여 영상화 모델 학습을 진행하였다. 영상화 모델 학습을 위해 평균제곱오차(mean squared error; MSE)를 손실함수로, Adam 함수를 최적화 함수로 사용하였다. 학습된 모델을 통해 입력 희박뷰 CT 영상에 대한 예측 잔차 영상을 획득하고, 두 영상간의 감산을 통해 최종 결과 영상을 획득하였다. 또한 최종 결과 영상에 대한 시각적 특성, 최대신호대잡음비(peak signal-to- noise ratio; PSNR) 및 구조적유사성지수(structural similarity; SSIM)를 측정하였다. 연구결과 본 연구에서 개발한 영상화 모델을 통해 희박뷰 CT 영상의 인공물이 효과적으로 제거되며, 공간분해능이 향상되는 결과를 확인하였다. 또한 wavelet 변환과 잔차 학습을 미적용한 영상화 모델에 비해 본 연구에서 개발한 영상화 모델은 결과 영상의 PSNR 및 SSIM을 각각 8.18% 및 19.71% 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 영상화 모델을 이용하여 희박뷰 CT 영상의 인공물 제거는 물론 공간분해능 향상 및 정량적 정확도 향상 효과를 획득할 수 있다.

A high speed digital distance relaying algorithm based on a Wavelet Transformation is proposed. To obtain stable phasor values very quickly, first, a lowpass filter which has low cutoff frequency is used. Secondly, db2(Daubechies 2) Wavelet which has the data window of 4 samples is used. A FIR filter which removes the DC-offset component in current relaying signals is applied. In accordance with a series of tests, the operation time of the relaying algorithm is less than 3/4 cycles after faults in a 80 [km], 154[kV], 60[Hz] over-head transmission line system.

However the wavelet transformation analysis can include on the informations of time and frequencies at the same time. This paper discusses correlation between process of electrical tree growing and characteristics of PD in LDPE specimens.

Wavelet transformation in image compression is to offer higher image compressibility and high-quality by quantization and entropy encoding. More image quality is good that reconstructed image by wavelet calculation than acquire cosine transform. Therefore, wavelet itself is function if it is wavelet's feature, in this function, do processing applying difference scale and resolution. That is, this is not that fixed resolution has been decided like existent compression way, when it regulated scale, damage goes in pixel and picture looks like break without giving damage entirely in reflex even if magnify or curtail Decoding. Therefore, this paper is in Image that using new wavelet application compression way research that see applies comparing In each image noted this time compressing step by step with circle image compression efficiency recognize. Also, estimated quality pass through by printing of compressed image, investigated compression ratio of most suitable that get print of high quality and elevation of transmission speed.

Encryption of digital images has been requested various fields. In the meantime, many algorithms based on a text - based encryption algorithm have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a method of encryption in wavelet transform domain to utilize the characteristics of digital image. In particular, wavelet transform is used to reduce the association between the encrypted image and the original image. Wavelet packet transformations can be decomposed into more subband images than wavelet transform, and various position permutation, numerical transformation, and visual transformation are performed on the coefficients of this subband image. As a result, this paper proposes a method that satisfies the characteristics of high encryption strength than the conventional wavelet transform and reversibility. This method also satisfies the lossless symmetric key encryption and decryption algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is confirmed by visual and quantitative. Experimental results show that the visually encrypted image is seen as a completely different signal from the original image. We also confirmed that the proposed method shows lower values of cross correlation than conventional wavelet transform. And PSNR has a sufficiently high value in terms of decoding performance of the proposed method. In this paper, we also proposed that the degree of correlation of the encrypted image can be controlled by adjusting the number of wavelet transform steps according to the characteristics of the image.
