The Difference

Muscle fatigue is a long lasting reduction of the ability to contract and it is the condition when produced force is reduced. Walking fast can cause muscle fatigue, which is unhealthy and it is incurable when the level of fatigue is high. Muscle fatigue during walk can be determined using several spectral variables. The amplitude and frequency of the surface EMG signal provide a more accurate reflection of motor unit pattern among these spectral variables. This research reports on the effectiveness of Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and wavelet transform based filtering method applied to the surface EMG (sEMG) signal as a means of achieving reliable discrimination of the muscle fatigue during human walking exercise. In this research, IAV, RMS and AIF values were used as spectral variable. These spectral variables extensively identifies the difference between fatigue and normal muscle when using EMD method compared with other different wavelet functions (WFs). The result shows that the sEMG amplitude and frequency momentously changes from rest position to maximum contraction position.

Mode Decomposition

In this article, multivariate empirical mode decomposition is proposed for damage localization in structures using limited measurements. Multivariate empirical mode decomposition is first used to decompose the acceleration responses into their mono-component modal responses. The major contributing modal responses are then used to evaluate the modal energy for the respective modes. A damage localization feature is proposed by calculating the percentage difference in the modal energies of damaged and undamaged structures, followed by the determination of the threshold value of the feature. The feature of the specific sensor location exceeding the threshold value is finally used to identify the location of structural damage. The proposed method is validated using a suite of numerical and full-scale studies. The validation is further explored using various limited measurement cases for evaluating the feasibility of using a fewer number of sensors to enable cost-effective structural health monitoring. The results show the capability of the proposed method in identifying as minimal as 2% change in global modal parameters of structures, outperforming the existing time–frequency methods to delineate such minor global damage.

Abstract. Determination of the timing and duration of paleoclimatic events is a challenging task. Classical techniques for time-series analysis rely too strongly on having a constant sampling rate, which poorly adapts to the uneven time recording of paleoclimatic variables; new, more flexible methods issued from Non-Linear Physics are hence required. In this paper, we have used Huang's Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) for the analysis of paleoclimatic series. We have studied three different time series of temperature proxies, characterizing oscillation patterns by using EMD. To measure the degree of temporal correlation of two variables, we have developed a method that relates couples of modes from different series by calculating the instantaneous phase differences among the associated modes. We observed that when two modes exhibited a constant phase difference, their frequencies were nearly equal to that of Milankovich cycles. Our results show that EMD is a good methodology not only for synchronization of different records but also for determination of the different local frequencies in each time series. Some of the obtained modes may be interpreted as the result of global forcing mechanisms.

Eemd Method

The Surface electromyography (sEMG) signal is a kind of electrical signal which generated by human muscles during contraction. It is prone to being affected by noise because of its small amplitude, so it is necessary to remove the noise in its original signal with an appropriate algorithm. Based on the traditional signal denoising indicators, a new complex indicator r has been proposed in this paper which combines three different indicator parameters, that is, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), correlation coefficient (R), and standard error (SE). At the same time, an adaptive ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method named AIO-EEMD which based on the proposed indicator is represented later. To verify the effective of the proposed algorithm, an electromyography signal acquisition circuit is designed firstly for collecting the original sEMG signal. Then, the denosing performance from the designed method is been compared with empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method and wavelet transform noise reduction method, respectively. The experiment results shown that the designed algorithm can not only automatically get the numbers of the reconstructed signal numbers, but also obtain the best reduction performance.
