Dynamic cable-tension is an important bridge-health indicator. However, it is difficult to be measured precisely and efficiently. A remote bridge dynamic cable-tension measurement method is proposed. It uses an interferometric radar sensor, a time-frequency analysis technique, and a tension estimation approach based on a string-vibration-equation. One radar can measure the displacements of multiple cables aligned on one side of a bridge, at the same time. By solving the string vibration equation, each cable-tension is calculated from its fundamental frequency, which is obtained by time-frequency analyzing a short section of the cable’s whole displacement vector in an overlapped-piecewise manner. An adaptive amplitude and phase estimation (APES) algorithm is used to solve the frequency resolution deterioration problem due to the short duration. Simulations and field experiments with a K band interferometric radar validate that the proposed method is superior to traditional cable-tension measurements in terms of precision, robustness, and efficiency. The proposed method is of great application value in measuring and monitoring large cable-stayed bridges and cable-suspended bridges.

Sea is rich in oil and gas resources, the marine controlled source electromagnetic method (CSEM) is a kind of method seabed oil gas geophysical technology rising in recent years. Because of the problem of CSEM about the air wave in the shallow water, the research of time-frequnecy analysis technique is used to suppress the air wave in this paper. The basic idea is: because of the CSEM signals speed are different in the air and submarine, so the time which received by the receiving points are also different through these two kinds of ways. Using the time-frequency analysis technique and theoretical calculation, we can determine which part of the signal is spread over the ocean, so as to suppress the air wave effectively. This paper lists several methods of time-frequency analysis, such as Short-time Fourier transform, W-V distribution, Wavelet transform, Hilbert Huang transform. Through the time-frequency graph,we get the conclusion that HHT is better than others in concentration degree,and W-V distribution is better than STFT.Compared with the original signal, the time-frequency graph is the best in using Smooth Puseudo W-V Distribution.I have a detailed analysis about real case in using SPWVD at last.

In this work, a new time-frequency tool based on minimum-norm spectral estimation is introduced for multiple fault detection in induction motors. Several diagnostic techniques are available to identify certain faults in induction machines; however, they generally give acceptable results only for machines operating under stationary conditions. Induction motors rarely operate under stationary conditions as they are constantly affected by load oscillations, speed waves, unbalanced voltages, and other external conditions. To overcome this issue, different time-frequency analysis techniques have been proposed for fault detection in induction motors under non-stationary regimes. However, most of them have low-resolution, low-accuracy or both. The proposed method employs the minimum-norm spectral estimation to provide high frequency resolution and accuracy in the time-frequency domain. This technique exploits the advantages of non-stationary conditions, where mechanical and electrical stresses in the machine are higher than in stationary conditions, improving the detectability of fault components. Numerical simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the method in starting current analysis of induction motors.

A feasibility study was conducted to develop a novel method to determine the temporal changes of tensile forces in bridge suspender cables using time-frequency analysis of ambient vibration measurements. An analytical model of the suspender cables was developed to evaluate the power spectral density (PSD) function of a cable with consideration of cable flexural stiffness. Discrete-time, short-time Fourier transform (STFT) was utilized to analyze the recorded acceleration histories in both time and frequency domains. A mathematical convolution of the analytical PSD function and time-frequency data was completed to evaluate changes in cable tension force over time. The method was implemented using acceleration measurements collected from an in-service steel arch bridge with a suspended deck to calculate the temporal variation in cable forces from the vibration measurements. The observations served as proof of concept that the proposed method may be used for cable fatigue life calculations and bridge weigh-in-motion studies.

The inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging for targets with complex motions has always been a challenging task due to the time-varying Doppler parameter, especially at the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition. In this paper, an efficient ISAR imaging algorithm for maneuvering targets based on a noise-resistance bilinear coherent integration is developed without the parameter estimation. First, the received signals of the ISAR in a range bin are modelled as a multicomponent quadratic frequency-modulated (QFM) signal after the translational motion compensation. Second, a novel quasi-time-frequency representation noise-resistance bilinear Radon-cubic phase function (CPF)-Fourier transform (RCFT) is proposed, which is based on the coherent integration of the energy of auto-terms along the slope line trajectory. In doing so, the RCFT also effectively suppresses the cross-terms and spurious peaks interference at no expense of the time-frequency resolution loss. Third, the cross-range positions of target’s scatters in ISAR image are obtained via a simple maximization projection from the RCFT result to the Doppler centroid axis, and the final high-resolution ISAR image is thus produced by regrouping all the range-Doppler frequency centroids. Compared with the existing time-frequency analysis-based and parameter estimation-based ISAR imaging algorithms, the proposed method presents the following features: (1) Better cross-term interference suppression at no time-frequency resolution loss; (2) computationally efficient without estimating the parameters of each scatters; (3) higher signal processing gain because of 2-D coherent integration realization and its bilinear function feature. The simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

The Impact

The high accuracy time-frequency representation of non-stationary signals is one of the key researches in seismic signal analysis. Low-frequency part of the seismic data often has a higher frequency resolution, on the contrary it tends to have lower frequency resolution in the high frequency part. It’s difficult to fine characterize the time-frequency variation of non-stationary seismic signals by conventional time-frequency analysis methods due to the limitation of the window function. Therefore based on the Ricker wavelet, we put forward the matching pursuit seismic trace decomposition method. It decomposes the seismic records into a series of single component atoms with different centre time, dominant frequency and energy, by making use of the Wigner-Ville distribution, has the time-frequency resolution of seismic signal reach the limiting resolution of the uncertainty principle and skillfully avoid the impact of interference terms in conventional Wigner-Ville distribution.
