Feature Extraction of the Crack AE Signal Using HHT Transform

Abstract

The use of Hilbert-Huang transform (Hilbert-Huang transform, HHT) on crack AE signal study, through empirical mode decomposition (empirical mode decomposition, EMD) AE signal is decompose into a number of intrinsic mode functions (Intrinsic mode Function, IMF), Hilbert spectrum and Hilbert marginal spectrum are calculated. The results show that crack depth structure bearing of acoustic emission are detected accurately by the number of acoustic emission events, time and crack the degree from Hilbert spectrum and Hilbert marginal spectrum.
