Blasting Vibration Signal Transform in Geotechnical Engineering Applied HHT and S Transform for Time-Frequency Analysis

Abstract

Based on the same blasting vibration signal, the S transform and HHT method have been applied for the time and frequency analysis. Both the S transform and HHT method are analyzed and compared from the point of decomposition path and analysis function. It expressed that these two methods are complete and effective and have the characteristics of adaptive multiresolution. Especially, the time resolution of the HHT method is invariable and its accuracy is high. Moreover, its frequency resolution can be adaptively adjusted with the inherent characteristics of the signal. However, the time and frequency resolution of the S transform are limited by the uncertainty principle, and the resolution improvement is at the cost of reducing the resolution of another. Furthermore, the HHT method has much more adaptability and is superior to S transform in the analysis of nonstationary signals. In advance, the waveform curve and power spectral density of each detonator are extracted, which indicates that it is not scientific to use different segment detonators for the same circle of the auxiliary hole. Under the premise of the same charge quantity, the vibration energy peak value produced by the same segment detonator is less than that of several segments of detonators. Therefore, it is believed that the HHT method has broad application prospects in the study of wave propagation, attenuation law, structural dynamic response characteristics, and blasting vibration damage in rocks.
