“…Unfortunately, a pristine counterpart is commonly unavailable in real-life delamination diagnosis, severely hampering the feasibility of delamination detection. To address this limitation, this study focuses on developing a non-baseline scheme for identifying delamination by fully integrating noncontact high-resolution vibration measurement techniques and advanced signal processing theories including fractal analysis (Cao et al, 2005(Cao et al, , 2006Farhidzadeh et al, 2013;Moustafa et al, 2014;Moustafa and Salamone, 2012) and wavelet transforms (Cao and Qiao, 2008;Masoumi and Ashory, 2014;Quek et al, 2001;Sohn et al, 2004;Wang and Deng, 1999;Wei et al, 2004;Wu and Wang, 2011). First, two new concepts, scale mode shape (SMS) and scale waveform dimension (SWD), are elaborated.…”
