Introduced the theory of S-transform, designed simulation experiment and the frequency components distribution versus time was, verified that the S-transformation method is suitable for blasting vibration signal time-frequency analyzed. Applied it to the time-frequency analysis of measured blasting vibration signals at situ, the results show that S-transform has excellent time-frequency representation ability and higher resolution, reveals the detail information of blasting vibration wave changing with time and frequency, and provides a new way for blasting vibration research. Determined the desired delay intervals through comparing the energy of signal and the time duration of the waveform at characteristic frequency between two-hole blasting vibration signals with different delay intervals.

Feature extraction, as an important method for extracting useful information from surfaceelectromyography (SEMG), can significantly improve pattern recognition accuracy. Time andfrequency analysis methods have been widely used for feature extraction, but these methods analyzeSEMG signals only from the time or frequency domain. Recent studies have shown that featureextraction based on time-frequency analysis methods can extract more useful information fromSEMG signals. This paper proposes a novel time-frequency analysis method based on the Stockwelltransform (S-transform) to improve hand movement recognition accuracy from forearm SEMGsignals. First, the time-frequency analysis method, S-transform, is used for extracting a feature vectorfrom forearm SEMG signals. Second, to reduce the amount of calculations and improve the runningspeed of the classifier, principal component analysis (PCA) is used for dimensionality reduction of thefeature vector. Finally, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based multilayer perceptron (MLP) is usedfor recognizing hand movements. Experimental results show that the proposed feature extractionbased on the S-transform analysis method can improve the class separability and hand movementrecognition accuracy compared with wavelet transform and power spectral density methods.

Vibration monitoring is an effective method for mechanical fault diagnosis. Wind turbines usually operated under varying-speed condition. Time-frequency analysis (TFA) is a reliable technique to handle such kind of nonstationary signal. In this paper, a new scheme, called current-aided TFA, is proposed to diagnose the planetary gearbox. This new technique acquires necessary information required by TFA from a current signal. The current signal is firstly used to estimate the rotating speed of the shaft. These parameters are applied to the demodulation transform to obtain a rough time-frequency distribution (TFD). Finally, the synchrosqueezing method further enhances the concentration of the obtained TFD. The validation and application of the proposed method are presented by a simulated signal and a vibration signal captured from a test rig.
