The Hilbert-Huang Transform in Engineering

by Norden E. Huang (Editor), Nii O. Attoh-Okine (Editor)

Overview

Data used to develop and confirm models suffer from several shortcomings: the total data is too limited, the data are non-stationary, and the data represent nonlinear processes. The Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a relatively new method that has grown into a robust tool for data analysis and is ready for a wide variety of applications. Thi

Editorial Reviews

"This is a book that exclusively deals with the HHT. Its main purpose is to provide the reader with an overview of the HHT without pursuing thorough mathematical details. Further, it attempts to demonstrate the versatility of the method by including numerous applications of the HHT in various engineering fields including ocean, environmental, seismic, and structural engineering. The book is organized into 13 chapters, each one written by different authors in a strict technical paper format … Overall, the book provides a balanced presentation of the HHT from various points of view depending on the application of interest and demonstrates the versatility and applicability of this numerical technique in various technical fields. It can be a valuable reference text for researchers and practitioners in the plethora of engineering fields that deal with the processing of nonstationary data sets and focus on extracting physically meaningful information while capturing the evolution of the corresponding processes in time or space."
