Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the selection of the most appropriate wavelets to analyze the vibration response of structures due to mechanical impacts. For this reason the wavelet transformation is briefly introduced, then the different types of wavelets, which are commonly used in this type of application are presented. Subsequently, the effects of selecting different types of wavelet to study the vibrations of a mechanical system are evaluated using a mathematical model. Afterwards, the wavelet transform is used to analyze the experimental response caused by the impact of a hammer on a test plate. This shows that the existence of a zone of local response due to reinforcement under the plate’s cover can be distinguished using the wavelet analysis.
