“…The acquired signals are often processed in the time, frequency and time-frequency domains (Benkedjouh et al, 2013;Tao et al, 2019). As chatter is a nonlinear and nonstationary process, time-frequency methods, such as short-time frequency transform (STFT) (Chen et al, 2019), empirical mode decomposition (EMD) (Fu et al, 2016), variational mode decomposition (VMD) (Liu et al, 2018) and wavelet-based analysis (Zhang et al, 2016), are popular to disclose chatter characteristics hidden in the time-domain signals. The STFT is based on a fixed window size of Fourier transform theory, and a proper balance between time and frequency resolution cannot be easily found (Albertelli et al, 2019).…”
