Wavelets as a Powerful Signal Processing Tool
The principles of wavelets can be applied to a range of problems in civil engineering structures, such as earthquake-induced vibration analysis, bridge vibrations, and damage identification. This book is particularly useful for graduate students and researchers in vibration analysis, especially those dealing with random vibrations.
Wavelet Analysis in Civil Engineering Comprised of seven chapters, this text:
- Introduces the concept and utility of wavelet transform
- Describes the discretization of ground motions using wavelet coefficients
- Explains how to characterize nonstationary ground motions using statistical functionals of wavelet coefficients of seismic accelerations
- Develops the formulation of a linear single-degree-of-freedom system
- Shows stepwise development of the formulation of a structure idealized as a linear multi-degree-of-freedom system in terms of wavelet coefficients
- Defines wavelet domain formulation of a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom system
- Introduces the concept of probability in wavelet-based theoretical formulation of a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom system
- Covers a variety of case studies highlighting diverse applications
