Abstract:In sight of the highly-noised,instantaneous and non-stationary characteristics of signal in SHPB test of rock,the wavelet-packets analysis technique is used to de-noise the test signal. Through compare between the wavelet-packets de-noised signal with that obtained from conventional method,it is found that the results gotten through strain gauge filtering and successive-values-averaging method is inaccurate. Wavelet packets analysis,as a new and promising tool in signal analyzing,has good resolution in time and scale aspects. The technique is used to de-noise signal from SHPB test of rock,the resolution is obtained in time and frequency domains simultaneously in multi-scales,and the de-noised results have neglectable errorness,the results turn out to be more reliable.
