Frequency Modulated Empirical Mode Decomposition Method

Abstract:

Frequency modulation procedure is proposed to overcome the mode-mixing problem associated with the EMD method when processing signals with closely spaced frequencies. This procedure also provides the flexibility to start the realization of IMFs either from the high frequency end as does the original EMD or from the low frequency end when the signal contains unwanted high frequency components. The EMD procedure, under the circumstances, may behave as high pass, low pass or band pass/stop filters. The proposed method, assisted by the Hilbert-Huang transform on the governing equations, identifies the instantaneous stiffness and damping coefficients as functions of vibration amplitude of a nonlinear system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical simulation.
