Characterization of photodiodes for detection of variations in part-to-part gap and weld penetration depth during remote laser welding of copper-to-steel battery tab connectors

<p>In this folder, .csv files and Matlab scripts for processing data from experimental campaign that has been reported in the following&nbsp;paper:<br> Chianese, G., Franciosa, P., Nolte, J., Ceglarek, D., and Patalano, S., &ldquo;Characterization of photodiodes for detection of variations in part-to-part gap and weld penetration depth during remote laser welding of copper-to-steel battery tab connectors.&rdquo; Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering. In-press.</p> <p>As the experimental campaign is made up of two phases, files&nbsp;are divided in two folders:<br> (i) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Phase I - Weld penetration depth; and,<br> (ii)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Phase II - Part-to-part gap.</p> <p>In each of these two folders, there are:<br> (i)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;a Matlab live script that, once the code is run, allows the user to select the signals (please, select all of them);<br> (ii) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;functions to run the code;<br> (iii)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Matlab variable files;<br> (iii)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;a folder with .csv files that contain signals recorded during experimental campaign;<br> (iv) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;an Excel file reporting experimental setup and process parameters;<br> (v)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;a PDF file with the live script and results of the data processing for the readers that cannot run Matlab codes.</p>
