Ground-penetrating radar time-frequency analysis method based on synchrosqueezing wavelet transformation
Compared with conventional time-frequency analysis method, synchrosqueezing wavelet transformation (SST) exhibits high resolution capability and good application effect. In this study, SST is introduced to ground-penetrating radar (GPR) processing. This method is applied to analyze a continuous electromagnetic signal. SST can obtain a higher resolution and a better processing effect than conventional wavelet transform and short-time Fourier analysis. In the application of GPR forward analysis data, the transform can correctly distinguish different interfaces and objects. Its resolution increases as frequency increases. However, compression wavelet modulus gradually decays as frequency increases. The proposed method is applied to detect tunnel lining under actual conditions and in a strong noise background. Indeed, the method can efficiently identify interfaces and abnormalities
Simulation analysis of low strain dynamic testing of pile with inhomogeneous elastic modulus
Low strain dynamic testing is an important nondestructive testing method in the engineering. However, the pile foundation material is usually assumed as having a uniform elastic modulus in low strain simulations. In this paper, we consider the elastic modulus of concrete as having an inhomogeneous elastic modulus that is described by the Weibull distribution model. An explicit algorithm was adopted in order to solve the model. The finite element method (FEM) was used to simulate the low strain dynamic test of a 3D pile. The response velocity characteristics of different shape parameters were obtained using this method, and the Daubechies wavelet transform was used to analyze the characteristics of the wavelet modulus. The result shows that simulation response velocity has a correlation with the different homogeneity of the elastic modulus
Low strain pile testing based on synchrosqueezing wavelet transformation analysis
Low strain detection, an indirect and nondestructive testing method, is one of the main pile integrity testing methods. We propose low strain testing analysis based on a synchrosqueezing wavelet transformation (SST). Through a typical model pile test, the SST is applied to identify pile bottom signal reflection time and to separate signal from noise. It is also compared with the conventional wavelet de-noising and the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) de-noising method. Results show that the SST technique can be used to identify the reflected signal of the pile bottom, achieve signal and noise separation, and improve signal-to-noise ratio. The method has significant advantage in low strain detection signal processing compared to other methods
