Detection method of spot welding based on multi-information fusion and fractal

A novel detection method of support vector machine (SVM) based on fractal dimension of signals is presented.And models of SVM are made based on nugget size defects of spot welding. Classification using these trained SVM models is done to signals of spot welding.It is shown from effect of different SVM models that these models with different inputs.In detection of defects,these models with inputs including sound signal have a high percentage of accuracy,the detection accuracy of these models with inputs including voltage signal will reduce.So the SVM models based on fractal dimensions of sound are some optimal nondestructive detection ones.At last a comparison between SVM detection model and ANNS detection model is researched which indicates that SVM is a more effective measure than Artificial neural networks in detection of nugget size defects during spot welding.
