Abstract
Automated real-time characterization of resistance spot welds using ultrasound-based nondestructive evaluation requires a computational process and system to accurately and rapidly interpret the ultrasonic data in real time. Such a process can be automatically learned using artificial intelligence, from a dataset of exemplary ultrasonic data from nondestructive evaluation of resistance spot welds for which a corresponding ideal evaluation of each weld is provided. The process can then be implemented into a system to automatically interpret data from non-destructive evaluation in real-time. The ideal evaluation of each weld requires identification a large set of features that are observable in the ultrasonic signature and comprehensively characterize the corresponding weld process.
