2. Proposed Approach
2.1. Strain Signal Acquisition and Preprocessing
2.2. Feature Parameter Extraction
2.2.1. Identification of the Impact Signal with VMD
- (1)
- Hilbert transform is performed on each IMF component to obtain its analytical signal.
- (2)
- The center frequency of each analytical signal is estimated, and the frequency spectrum of each analytical signal is modulated to the corresponding baseband via frequency-shifting.
- (3)
- The Gaussian smoothing index of the frequency-shifted signal is used to estimate the bandwidth of each IMF component to obtain a constrained variational model. The model is expressed as
- (4)
- The quadratic penalty function term and the Lagrange multiplier are used to transform Equation (2) into an unconstrained problem expressed as
2.2.2. Demodulation of the Signal with the TEO
- Define as a TEO; for any continuous impact response signal, it is defined as
- The characteristic signal after VMD and reconstruction, described in Section 2.2.1, is introduced into Equation (5) for calculation, and an impact signal with an enhanced instantaneous energy feature is obtained. The signal has simple components and an obvious instantaneous energy feature in the time series and can therefore be directly used for the extraction of the WAM. The method of setting a threshold is adopted during the WAM extraction process. As the strain values detected by FBG sensors in different positions will be different, the energy of each group of signals will be different, and it is therefore difficult to set the threshold uniformly. Thus, the extreme value normalization formula given by Equation (6) is used to dimensionalize the data so that each group of signals is unified between 0 and 1.
