Time-frequency and time-scale analyses for structural health monitoring

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci. 2007 Feb 15;365(1851):449-77. doi: 10.1098/rsta.2006.1936.

Abstract

Signal processing is one of the most important elements of structural health monitoring. This paper documents applications of time-variant analysis for damage detection. Two main approaches, the time-frequency and the time-scale analyses are discussed. The discussion is illustrated by application examples relevant to damage detection.
