Popis: A hybrid dynamic fatigue diagnosis method based on a variation of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (VEEMD) and mean instantaneous frequency (MIF) is presented. This new approach consists of sifting an ensemble of white noise-added signal (data) and treats the mean as the final true result. In the method here proposed, a particular noise is added at each stage of the decomposition and a unique residue is computed to obtain each mode. Our results showed that MIF estimated from each instantaneous frequency of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) decomposed by the proposed VEEMD is a relevant feature to muscular fatigue diagnosis. We found that MIF reduces when the force level of the muscle contraction increases.
