10. Wavelet Zoom  Focus on localized signal structures with a zooming procedure that progressively reduces the scale parameter 10

11. Lipschitz Regularity  A function is pointwise Lipschitz at, if there exists, and a polynomial of degree such that,  The Lipschitz regularity of at or over is the least upper bound of the such that is Lipschitz. 11

12. Lipschitz Regularity-Example 12 Jump Cusp Lipschitz alpha =0Lipschitz alpha =1

13. Vanishing moment  A wavelet with a fast decay has n vanishing moments iff there exists with a fast decay such that,  Ψ(t) with n vanishing moments can only “see” a change point with Lipschitz regularity α that is less than n. 13

14. Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima(WTMM)  WTMM = ridge   The dip of equation of this ridge is 0.5 definitely. 14

21. Insight of Soil Layers  location at which the soil behavior type index changes abruptly 21 SBT 6 SBT 3 But in reality…… There will be some noise definitely!

22. Transition Zone  Cone can sense a layer boundary up to a distance of 15 cone diameters ahead and behind. 22 That will make us more difficult to identify layers !

31. Conclusion  WTMM is widely applied to detecting discontinuity, like jump or cusp, in nowaday engineering.  Using a series of scale, or narrowing windows, we can grab the characteristic of a signal at some one local position.  It’s used to bore one or several holes at a construction site for investigation the stratigraphic property. If we enforce CPT and WTMM in field investigation, it will be more efficient and economical. 31

32. Conclusion-cont.  In Taiwan we usually take USCS as main principle of soil classification but not SBT of CPT. However, it must take lots of time and manpower if we still take USCS.  SBT of CPT has a clear and concise image of civil engineering application, because of the clear distinguishing principle of sand and clay. It will help us to realize a better design in engineering. 32
