However, velocity profiling applications of this technique are complicated by characteristic velocity and range ambiguities. Proper implementation for any application requires careful design so that performance can be accurately predicted. In this paper, a computer model capable of simulating coherent Doppler operation is presented. The point scatterer model operates in three dimensions and accommodates bistatic transducer geometries. Excellent agreement is demonstrated between model simulations and laboratory trials. Some simple model applications are presented. The model has been developed for profiling applications but is equally suited to modeling point measurement acoustic Doppler velocimeters.","PeriodicalId":39902,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Acoustics - Acoustique Canadienne","volume":"25 1","pages":"1834-1844"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1175/2008JTECHO585.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64585061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time-scale analysis provides the basic methodology of this thesis work. The wavelet transform is implemented in the program for filtering out the majority of noise and detect needed signals. As a popular nondestructive test, acoustic emission (AE) testing has been widely used in many physical and engineering fields such as leak detection and pipeline inspection. Among those applied AE tests, a common problem is to extract the physical features of the ideal events, so as to detect similar signals. In acoustic signal processing, those features can be represented as joint time frequency distribution. However, classical signal processing methods only give global information on either time or frequency domain, while local information is lots. Although the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is developed to analyze time and frequency details simultaneously, it can only achieve limited precision. Other time-frequency methods are also applied in AE signal processing, but they all have the problem of resolution and time consuming. Wavelet transform is a time-scale technique with adaptable precision, which makes better feature extraction and detail detection. This thesis is an application of wavelet transform in AE signal detection where various noise exists. The wavelet transform with Morelet wavelet as the mother wavelet provides the basis of the program for auto classification in this thesis work. Finally the program is tested with two industrial projects to verify the workability of wavelet transforms and the reliability of the developed auto classifiers.","PeriodicalId":39902,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Acoustics - Acoustique Canadienne","volume":"36 1","pages":"31-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69469186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
