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

In this folder, .csv files and Matlab scripts for processing data from experimental campaign that has been reported in the following paper:
Chianese, G., Franciosa, P., Nolte, J., Ceglarek, D., and Patalano, S., “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.” Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering. In-press.

As the experimental campaign is made up of two phases, files are divided in two folders:
(i)     Phase I - Weld penetration depth; and,
(ii)    Phase II - Part-to-part gap.

In each of these two folders, there are:
(i)    a Matlab live script that, once the code is run, allows the user to select the signals (please, select all of them);
(ii)     functions to run the code;
(iii)    Matlab variable files;
(iii)    a folder with .csv files that contain signals recorded during experimental campaign;
(iv)      an Excel file reporting experimental setup and process parameters;
(v)    a PDF file with the live script and results of the data processing for the readers that cannot run Matlab codes.
