Cutting Feature Extraction Method for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Based on Feature Classification and Improved Hilbert–Huang Transform by Shanshan Hu, Jinzhao Feng, Hui Liu, Guoxin Tang, Geng’e Zhang, Fali Xiong, Shirun Zhong, Yilong Huang

“…However, its cutting characteristics and processing performance have not been sufficiently investigated, potentially causing accelerated saw blade wear, higher energy consumption, and poor cutting quality, thus increasing project costs and duration. In order to intelligently evaluate the performance of diamond saw blades when cutting UHMWPE-FRC, a feature extraction method, based on feature classification and an improved Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT), is proposed, which consider Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (ICEEMDAN) and wavelet threshold de-noising. …”
