Abstract
We explore the abilities of the Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) to characterize and denoise discrete acoustic emission signals. The method is first tested on simulated data for which different types and levels of noise are considered. It is then applied on real data recorded from nuclear safety experiments. The results show an excellent ability of the SSA to characterize the corrupted signal and to detect structural changes, even for low signal-to-noise ratio. For denoising purposes, the quality of the results depends mainly on the separability between the source signal to be estimated and the noise. However, whatever the case, the main components of the source signal are clearly identified when the components associated with the noise are removed.
