Profile components, Fourier transform

There is significant debate about the relative merits of frequency and time domain. In principle, they are related via the Fourier transformation and have been experimentally verified to be equivalent [9], For some applications, frequency domain instrumentation is easier to implement since ultrashort light pulses are not required, nor is deconvolution of the instrument response function, however, signal to noise ratio has recently been shown to be theoretically higher for time domain. The key advantage of time domain is that multiple decay components can, at least in principle, be extracted with ease from the decay profile by fitting with a multiexponential function, using relatively simple mathematical methods. 

To shed light on the mechanism of formation of silsesquioxane a7b3, to identify the species formed during the process, and to try to explain the high selectivity towards structure a7b3 of the optimised synthetic method described above (64% yield in 18 h), the synthesis of cyclopentyl silsesquioxane a7b3 was monitored by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI MS) [50-52] and in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR FTIR) spectroscopy [53, 54]. Spectroscopic data from the latter were analysed using chemometric methods to identify the pure component spectra and relative concentration profiles.

An alternative approach consists of working directly with the measured profile h(x), by expressing it as a Fourier series that includes the various components associated with each of the effects that modify the experimental profile [SCA 02] (instrumental function, size effect, microstrains, etc.). The intensity distribution h(x) or 1(20) is then expressed from equation [5.98] which was obtained in Chapter 5 by including in this equation the Fourier transform G(x) of the instmmental function, and finally ... 

Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infra-red (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the concentration of a chemical additive (cationic polyacrylamide resin) within a pulp fibre. The depth distribution of the additive was determined by sputter etching the fibre surface. The obtained profile was compared qualitatively with that obtained by the variable-angle ATR-FTIR depth profiling method. Most of the additive was located at the surface, with some distributed within the fibre. It is concluded that the method can be used to clarify the distribution of other paper additives within a pulp fibre, and that it can be applied to depth profiling of minor components within a solid material. 21 refs. 

Once the double flank roll test is carried out, a sinusoidal graphic is obtained including a low frequency component due to the runout and a high frequency component representing the quality of the gear [6]. In order to have these values in a separate way, the data obtained in the test are decomposed by means of the Fourier transform defining in this way the runout effect and tooth profile generation respectively. 

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is an effective analytical tool for screening and profiling polymer samples. Infrared spectroscopy is widely used in the analysis and characterization of polymers. Polymer products are not a singular species, but rather, they are a population of polymer molecules varying in composition and configuration plus other added components. 

The roughness of active flanks of pinion and wheel teeth was measured using adequate measure length and cut-off . Afterwards, the roughness profiles were numerically treated in order to eliminate the typical flank curvature of gear teeth. The Fourier transform was applied to each roughness profile (pinion and wheel) in order to identify wavelengths and amplitudes of the tooth profile components.
