Proposed Model

ABSTRACT A probabilistic model of the time–frequency power spectral density (TFPSD) is presented. The model is developed, based on the time–frequency representation of records from strike-slip earthquakes, in which the time–frequency representation is obtained by applying the S-transform (ST). The model for the TFPSD implicitly considers the amplitude modulation and frequency modulation for the nonstationary ground motions; this differs from the commonly used evolutionary PSD model. Predicting models for the model parameters, based on seismic source and site characteristics, are developed. The use of the model to simulate ground motions for scenario seismic events is illustrated, in which the simulation is carried out using a recently developed model that is based on the discrete orthonormal ST and ST. The illustrative example highlights the simplicity of using the proposed model and the physical meaning of some of the model parameters. A model validation analysis is carried out by comparing the statistics of the pseudospectral acceleration obtained from the simulated records to those obtained using a few ground-motion models available in the literature and considered actual records. The comparison indicates the adequacy of the proposed model.

AbstractThis work presents an up-to-date model for the simulation of non-stationary ground motions, including several novelties compared to the original study of Sabetta and Pugliese (Bull Seism Soc Am 86:337–352, 1996). The selection of the input motion in the framework of earthquake engineering has become progressively more important with the growing use of nonlinear dynamic analyses. Regardless of the increasing availability of large strong motion databases, ground motion records are not always available for a given earthquake scenario and site condition, requiring the adoption of simulated time series. Among the different techniques for the generation of ground motion records, we focused on the methods based on stochastic simulations, considering the time- frequency decomposition of the seismic ground motion. We updated the non-stationary stochastic model initially developed in Sabetta and Pugliese (Bull Seism Soc Am 86:337–352, 1996) and later modified by Pousse et al. (Bull Seism Soc Am 96:2103–2117, 2006) and Laurendeau et al. (Nonstationary stochastic simulation of strong ground-motion time histories: application to the Japanese database. 15 WCEE Lisbon, 2012). The model is based on the S-transform that implicitly considers both the amplitude and frequency modulation. The four model parameters required for the simulation are: Arias intensity, significant duration, central frequency, and frequency bandwidth. They were obtained from an empirical ground motion model calibrated using the accelerometric records included in the updated Italian strong-motion database ITACA. The simulated accelerograms show a good match with the ground motion model prediction of several amplitude and frequency measures, such as Arias intensity, peak acceleration, peak velocity, Fourier spectra, and response spectra.

A stochastic function model of seismic ground motions is presented in this paper. It is derived from the consideration of physical mechanisms of seismic ground motions. The model includes the randomness inherent in the seismic source, propagation path and local site. For logical selection of the seismic acceleration records, a cluster analysis method is employed. Statistical distributions of the random parameters associated with the proposed model are identified using the selected data. Superposition method of narrow-band wave groups is then adopted to simulate non-stationary seismic ground motions. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed model, comparative studies of time histories and response spectra of the simulated seismic accelerations against those of the recorded seismic accelerations are carried out. Their probability density functions, moreover, are readily investigated by virtue of the probability density evolution method.

AbstractThe general uncertainty of epilepsy and its unpredictable seizures often affect badly the quality of life of people exposed to this disease. There are patients who can be considered fortunate in terms of prediction of any seizures. These are patients with epileptic auras. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate pre-seizure warning symptoms of the electroencephalography (EEG) signals by a convolutional neural network (CNN) inspired by the epileptic auras defined in the medical field. In this context, one-dimensional EEG signals were transformed into a spectrogram display form in the frequency-time domain by applying a short-time Fourier transform (STFT). Systemic changes in pre-epileptic seizure have been described by applying the CNN approach to the EEG signals represented in the image form, and the subjective EEG-Aura process has been tried to be determined for each patient. Considering all patients included in the evaluation, it was determined that the 1-min interval covering the time from the second minute to the third minute before the seizure had the highest mean and the lowest variance to determine the systematic changes before the seizure. Thus, the highest performing process is described as EEG-Aura. The average success for the EEG-Aura process was 90.38 ± 6.28%, 89.78 ± 8.34% and 90.47 ± 5.95% for accuracy, specificity and sensitivity, respectively. Through the proposed model, epilepsy patients who do not respond to medical treatment methods are expected to maintain their lives in a more comfortable and integrated way.

Switches fault in power converter has become compelling issues over the years. To reduce cost and maintenance downtime, a good fault detection technique is an essential. In this paper, the performance of STFT and S transform techniques are analysed and compared for voltage source inverter (VSI) switches faults. The signal from phase current is represented in jointly time-frequency representation (TFR) to estimate signal parameters and characteristics. Then, the degree of accuracy for both STFT and S transform are determined by the lowest value of mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results demonstrate that S transform gives better accuracy compare to STFT and is suitable for VSI switches faults detection and identification system.

This paper proposes a comparison of machine learning (ML) algorithm known as the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and naïve Bayes (NB) in identifying and diagnosing the harmonic sources in the power system. A single-point measurement is applied in this proposed method, and using the S-transform the measurement signals are analyzed and extracted into voltage and current parameters. The voltage and current features that estimated from time-frequency representation (TFR) of S-transform analysis are used as the input for MLs. Four significant cases of harmonic source location are considered, whereas harmonic voltage (HV) and harmonic current (HC) source type-load are used in the diagnosing process. To identify the best ML, the performance measurement of the proposed method including the accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity, and F-measure are calculated. The sufficiency of the proposed methodology is tested and verified on IEEE 4-bust test feeder and each ML algorithm is executed for 10 times due to prevent any overfitting result.

ABSTRACT The vertical near-fault seismic ground-motion component can cause significant structural deformation and damage, which can be evaluated from time history analysis using actual or synthetic ground-motion records. In this study, we propose a new stochastic model for the vertical pulseless near-fault ground motions that depends on earthquake magnitude, rupture distance, and site condition. The proposed model is developed based on the time–frequency characteristics of 606 selected actual vertical record components in strike-slip earthquakes. The use and validation of the model are presented using simulated records obtained by two simulation techniques. For the validation, the statistics of time–frequency-dependent power spectral acceleration estimated from the simulated records using the proposed stochastic model are compared with those from the actual records and the ground-motion models available in the literature.

AbstractThe research analyses the application of particle filters in estimating and extracting the features of radar signal time-frequency energy distribution. Time-frequency representation is calculated using modified B distribution, where the estimation process model represents one time bin. An adaptive criterion for the calculation of particle weighted coefficients whose main parameters are frequency integral squared error and estimated maximum of mean power spectral density per one time bin is proposed. The analysis of the suggested estimation application has been performed on a generated signal in the absence of any noise, and consequently on modelled and recorded real radar signals. The advantage of the suggested method is in the solution of the issue of interrupted estimations of instantaneous frequencies which appears when these estimations are determined according to maximum energy distribution, as in the case of intersecting frequency components in a multicomponent signal.

AbstractThe temporal resolution of conventional S transform (ST) is not sufficient for the separation of local coherent noise. We present a revised S transform (RST) which uses an analyzing window function with two control parameters of the scalar σ and the exponential factor γ. Selecting proper parameter values (say σ = 1.1, γ = 1.08), the time–frequency representation (TFR) acquired by our method exhibits a higher temporal resolution. Applying an appropriate filter in the time–frequency domain, we are able to remove specific local noise. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) VSP section may suffer from fiber cable coupling noise, hindering the subsequent data processing and geologic interpretation. The real data example shows the coupling noise occurred in the DAS VSP can be removed by the presented RST.
