Abstract

Abstract The paper presents a comparative analysis of non-destructive testing methods used in the assessment of welded joints. The authors describe the methodology of conducting tests on welded plates using the vibration method. On the basis of the FFT analysis of responses from accelerometers, spectral characteristics were calculated, and then used along with statistical measures to develop a comparative method in non-destructive testing of welded joints. This method will make it possible to quickly and easily distinguish plates with non-defective welded joints from plates with faulty welds. The paper presents test results for a non-defective plate weld (sample no. 2202), a plate with defective edge fusion (sample no. 2127) and one with a cracking along the entire sample length (sample no. 2132). The article points out the limitations of the proposed method and the need for further research
