External project communication plan

The project communication plan also covers the project's public website.

Simplified Weld Model

D2.1 delivers a simplified weld model, in order to overcome the limitation that full microstructure simulations are too costly to generate the number of datasets necessary to train an AI model. The deliverable describes a simplified procedure mapping a calculation of the vicinity of the thermal source to larger areas, according to defined welding conditions.

Data management plan

D5.3 is the Data management plan (DMP) which covers both re-use of existing data and creation of new data, following the FAIR data management policy (Findable, Accessible, interoperable data with increased re-use by third parties). The document will be updated in the course of the project.

Weld uncertainty study for a chosen use case

D3.1 summarizes the weld uncertainty study for a chosen use case, determining the most relevant welding parameters and the expected confidence for associated tolerances, to answer the question of how accurate the orientation map needs to be for accurate imaging of ultrasound acquisition data.

Weld database

D1.1 delivers a database of industrially relevant weld shapes (V, X, K, J, etc.), welding techniques (TIG, SMAW) and positions (0, 90, etc.), including tolerances and typical uncertainties.

AI-based Weld Model

D2.2 constitutes an AI based weld model, which is delivered in the form of a public report and a partially public simulated database.

TRL Workshop

D5.1 provides a detailed assessment of the TRL level of the object of each task at the start of the project, as well as the targeted TRL level at the end of the project. The report summarizes the outcome of a TRL workshop to be held during the kick-off meeting.

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (1)

Inversion Methodology and demonstration

D3.2 demonstrates the developed inversion methodology and demonstrates it numerically on grain scale models. This deliverable is related to D4.1, which provides the practical demonstration on manufactured welds.
