For the multi-time scale characteristics of vibration signal, a composite multi-frequency dictionary combining the low-frequency Fourier dictionary and the high-frequency impulse time-frequency dictionary is constituted, to decompose multi-component vibration signal into the combination of several one-component signals. The use of empirical model decomposition (EDM) in high-frequency impulse Component signal including feature information is to realize segmented Hilbert-Huang transform of signal and to acquire the time-frequency representation of every one-component signal, which is the process of fault information extraction of vibration signal. The application of the method in main reducer fault diagnosis verifies the engineering practicability and validity of the new algorithm.

This paper presents a new identification method to identify the main errors of the machine tool in time-frequency domain. The low- and high-frequency signals of the workpiece surface are decomposed based on the Daubechies wavelet transform. With power spectral density analysis, the main features of the high-frequency signal corresponding to the imbalance of the spindle system are extracted from the surface topography of the workpiece in the frequency domain. With the cross-correlation analysis method, the relationship between the guideway error of the machine tool and the low-frequency signal of the surface topography is calculated in the time domain.

Local damage detection in rotating machine elements is very important problem widely researched in the literature. One of the most common approaches is the vibration signal analysis. Since time domain processing is often insufficient, other representations are frequently favored. One of the most common one is time-frequency representation hence authors propose to separate internal processes occurring in the vibration signal by spectrogram matrix factorization. In order to achieve this, it is proposed to use the approach of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF). In this paper three NMF algorithms are tested using real and simulated data describing single-channel vibration signal acquired on damaged rolling bearing operating in drive pulley in belt conveyor driving station. Results are compared with filtration using Spectral Kurtosis, which is currently recognized as classical method for impulsive information extraction, to verify the validity of presented methodology.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the application of Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) for fatigue damage feature characterisation in the time–frequency domain based on strain signals obtained from the automotive coil springs. Design/methodology/approach HHT was employed to detect the temporary changes in frequency characteristics of the vibration response of the signals. The extraction successfully reduced the length of the original signal to 40 per cent, whereas the fatigue damage was retained. The analysis process for this work is divided into three stages: signal characterisation with the application of fatigue data editing (FDE) for fatigue life assessment, empirical mode decomposition with Hilbert transform, an energy–time–frequency distribution analysis of each intrinsic mode function (IMF). Findings The edited signal had a time length of 72.5 s, which was 40 per cent lower than the original signal. Both signals were retained statistically with close mean, root-mean-square and kurtosis value. FDE improved the fatigue life, and the extraction did not affect the content and behaviour of the original signal because the editing technique only removed the minimal fatigue damage potential. HHT helped to remove unnecessary noise in the recorded signals. EMD produced sets of IMFs that indicated the differences between the original signal and mean of the signal to produce new components. The low-frequency energy was expected to cause large damage, whereas the high-frequency energy will cause small damage. Originality/value HHT and EMD can be used in the strain data signal analysis of the automotive component of a suspension system. This is to improve the fatigue life, where the extraction did not affect the content and behaviour of the original signal because the editing technique only removed the minimal fatigue damage potential.

This study presents a new steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) paradigm for brain computer interface (BCI) systems. The new paradigm is High-Frequency Combination Coding-Based SSVEP (HFCC-SSVEP). The goal of this study is to increase the number of targets using fewer stimulation frequencies, with diminishing subject’s fatigue and reducing the risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures. This paper investigated the HFCC-SSVEP high-frequency response (beyond 25 Hz) for 3 frequencies (25 Hz, 33.33 Hz, and 40 Hz). HFCC-SSVEP producesnnwithnhigh stimulation frequencies through Time Series Combination Code. Furthermore, The Improved Hilbert-Huang Transform (IHHT) is adopted to extract time-frequency feature of the proposed SSVEP response. Lastly, the differentiation combination (DC) method is proposed to select the combination coding sequence in order to increase the recognition rate; as a result, IHHT algorithm and DC method for the proposed SSVEP paradigm in this study increase recognition efficiency so as to improve ITR and increase the stability of the BCI system. Furthermore, SSVEPs evoked by high-frequency stimuli (beyond 25 Hz) minimally diminish subject’s fatigue and prevent safety hazards linked to photo-induced epileptic seizures. This study tests five subjects in order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

Fast oscillations are ubiquitous throughout the mammalian central nervous system and are especially prominent in respiratory motor outputs, including the phrenic nerves (PhNs). Some investigators have argued for an epiphenomenological basis for PhN high-frequency oscillations because phrenic motoneurons (PhMNs) firing at these same frequencies have never been recorded, although their existence has never been tested systematically. Experiments were performed on 18 paralyzed, unanesthetized, decerebrate adult rats in which whole PhN and individual PhMN activity were recorded. A novel method for evaluating unit-nerve time-frequency coherence was applied to PhMN and PhN recordings. PhMNs were classified according to their maximal firing rate as high, medium, and low frequency, corresponding to the analogous bands in PhN spectra. For the first time, we report the existence of PhMNs firing at rates corresponding to high-frequency oscillations during eupneic motor output. The majority of PhMNs fired only during inspiration, but a small subpopulation possessed tonic activity throughout all phases of respiration. Significant time-varying PhMN-PhN coherence was observed for all PhMN classes. High-frequency, early-recruited units had significantly more consistent onset times than low-frequency, early/middle-recruited and medium-frequency, middle/late-recruited PhMNs. High- and medium-frequency PhMNs had significantly more consistent offset times than low-frequency units. This suggests that startup and termination of PhMNs with higher firing rates are more precisely controlled, which may contribute to the greater PhMN-PhN coherence at the beginning and end of inspiration. Our findings provide evidence that near-synchronous discharge of PhMNs firing at high rates may underlie fast oscillations in PhN discharge.

Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a very effective time-frequency analysis method, but it has some disadvantages. For example, the dense modal signal cannot be decomposed completely, and redundancy intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are easy emerging at low frequency, which will cause the distortion of the processing results. In view of the above questions, this study applies the wavelet packet transform for denoising before HHT for improving the dense modal problem, and applies the correlation coefficient method to eliminate the redundancy IMF. The fault diagnostic case of roller bearing shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The frequency variating source, linear generator, and switching devices lead to dynamic characteristics of the low-frequency conducted emissions within maglev on-board distribution systems. To track the time-varying feature of these disturbances, a joint time–frequency representation combined adaptive optimal kernel with compressed sensing technique is proposed in this paper. The joint representation is based on Wigner–Ville distribution, and employs adaptive optimal kernel to remove undesirable cross terms. The compressed sensing technique is introduced to deal with the tradeoff between cross-component reduction and auto-component smearing faced by kernel-function-based bilinear time–frequency representation. The time–frequency aggregation and accuracy performance of joint time–frequency representation is quantified using Rényi entropy and l1-norm. To verify its performance in disturbance signature analysis for distribution systems and primarily characterize the low-frequency conducted emissions of maglev, a maglev on-board distribution system experimental platform is employed to extract the low-frequency disturbances which pose threats to the controlling system. Comparison with Wigner–Ville distribution demonstrates the joint time–frequency representation method outperforms in tracking time-varying and transient disturbances of maglev on-board distribution systems.

Respiratory motor outputs contain medium-(MFO) and high-frequency oscillations (HFO) that are much faster than the fundamental breathing rhythm. However, the associated changes in power spectral characteristics of the major respiratory outputs in unanesthetized animals during the transition from normal eupneic breathing to hypoxic gasping have not been well characterized. Experiments were performed on nine unanesthetized, chemo- and barodenervated, decerebrate adult rats, in which asphyxia elicited hyperpnea, followed by apnea and gasping. A gated fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis and a novel time-frequency representation (TFR) analysis were developed and applied to whole phrenic and to medial branch hypoglossal nerve recordings. Our results revealed one MFO and one HFO peak in the phrenic output during eupnea, where HFO was prominent in the first two-thirds of the burst and MFO was prominent in the latter two-thirds of the burst. The hypoglossal activity contained broadband power distribution with several distinct peaks. During gasping, two high-amplitude MFO peaks were present in phrenic activity, and this state was characterized by a conspicuous loss in HFO power. Hypoglossal activity showed a significant reduction in power and a shift in its distribution toward lower frequencies during gasping. TFR analysis of phrenic activity revealed the increasing importance of an initial low-frequency “start-up” burst that grew in relative intensity as hypoxic conditions persisted. Significant changes in MFO and HFO rhythm generation during the transition from eupnea to gasping presumably reflect a reconfiguration of the respiratory network and/or alterations in signal processing by the circuitry associated with the two motor pools.

Low frequency oscillations due to the lack of damping may occur in power systems under normal operation and will cause system instability. These oscillations are essentially nonlinear power responses which are difficult to extract the inherent characteristics by the time domain method. This paper aims to analyze nonlinear power responses by using the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) which is a time-frequency signal processing method which comprises steps of the empirical mode decomposition and the Hilbert transform. Dynamic power system responses, including generator output power and line power are to be processed by the HHT and a set of intrinsic mode functions and the associated Hilbert spectrum are obtained. The generator with most effects on the system will be accordingly found out through the time-frequency analysis and the power system stabilizer will be placed at the generator. Numerical results from a sample power system are demonstrated to show the validity of the time-frequency approach in the study of power system low frequency oscillations.
