Abstract: Sensing elements need to be incorporated in robotic welding systems to enable the robot to perceive and adapt to on-line variations occurring in the welding process. In this work, infrared ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method for on-line weld geometry monitoring and control using a single front-side infrared sensor. Variations in plate thickness, shielding gas composition and minor element ...

Abstract: Chains of miniature center-cracked-tension specimens were tested on a conventional testing machine and on a prototypic in-reactor fatigue machine as part of the fusion reactor materials alloy ...
