Abstract
A method is for testing the structural integrity of a metal joint such as a weld. The method includes applying stress to the metal joint, and measuring a resistance of a circuit including the metal joint during application of the stress to the metal joint. A structural integrity of the metal joint is determined by comparing the measured resistance with a baseline resistance.
