... domain, using a time history modal superposition method. Time history forcing functions are first obtained by inverse Fourier transform of the power spectral density function used in classical turbulence-induced vibration analyses. The fluid-structure coupling force, which is dependent on the cross-flow...

.... Therefore, a precise creep damage assessment method is needed. This paper proposes a nondestructive method for creep damage detection of piping in fossil-fuel combustion power generation plants by ultrasonic testing. Ultrasonic signals are transformed to signals in a frequency domain by Fourier transform...

... and from the Hilbert and Fourier transforms of the reconstructed signals. A six-dimensional damage index is then constructed, and it is fed to an artificial neural network that classifies the size and the location of the notch. Overall, the wavelet-based multifeature analysis demonstrates good...
