Vibration Source Number Estimation of A Shell Structure

摘要： It has been challenging to correctly separate the mixed signals into source components when the source number is not known a priori.To reveal the complexity of the measured vibration signals,and provide the priori information for the blind source separation,in this paper,we propose a novel source number estimation based on independent component analysis(ICA)and clustering evaluation analysis,and then carry out experiment studies with typical mechanical vibration signals from a shell structure.The results demonstrate that the proposed ICA based source number estimation performs stably and robustly for the shell structure. （共5页）
