Condition monitoring of vibrating steel‐reinforced concrete beams through wavelet transformsEmerald - Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 154-162 - 2006
F.J.Carrión, A.Lozano, V.M.Castaño
PurposeThe purpose of this research is to show that wavelets are mathematical tools capable of separating vibration data into different frequency components, allowing the study of each component with a resolution matched to its specific time scale. Wavelets have advantages over traditional Fourier methods, particularly when...... hiện toàn bộ
