Purpose

Denoising of the vibration signal is crucial to identify a structure's damage. Based on noise frequency character, the “real” vibration signal can be gotten. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel method for denoising a signal based on the wavelet transform.

Design/methodology/approach

The vibration signal with noise which can be collected by wireless network is decomposed by wavelet transform. In order to select optimal level of wavelet decomposition, based on noise's frequency, power spectral density is used. A soft thresholding method based on minimum mean‐variance is used for vibration signal de‐noising with Gaussian noise.

Findings

A novel method has been described in his paper. Based on the relationship between vibration signal's character and noise frequency, the way to get rid of noise is combined wavelet transform with power spectral density.

Originality/value

In order to select optimal level of wavelet decomposition, based on noise's frequency, power spectral density is used. A soft thresholding method based on minimum mean‐variance is used for vibration signal denoising with Gaussian noise.
