Time-Frequency Analysis of Non-Stationary Ground Motions via Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, MEMD-based scalogram and coscalogram, and instantaneous frequency spectral are proposed to characterize the data derived from the multivariate non-stationary process. The scalogram and instantaneous frequency spectral capture spectral evolution of each component while the coscalogram reveals embedded intermittent correlation between two components. Compared with scale-based scalogram and coscalogram, frequency-based instantaneous frequency spectral provides more detailed portrayal for multivariate data. The effectiveness of the proposed MEMD-based time-frequency analysis framework is validated by numerical examples of uniformly and generally modulated ground motions.
