Tasks

• Use specimens from serial production that reflect real-world conditions and variability to conduct PCRT measurements. Record the corresponding mechanical properties, including Young's modulus, elongation at break, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength.
• Expand the existing database using these specimens to establish reliable correlations between PCRT data and mechanical properties, ensuring statistical reliability.
• Conduct in-depth correlation analysis to precisely link PCRT data with specific mechanical properties by focusing mainly on critical parameters (yield strength and elongation at break), enabling the development of accurate predictive models.
• Design a quantitative predictive framework that maps resonance data to actual mechanical properties, offering insights beyond simple binary quality classifications used in previous research.
• Validate the developed model with additional serial production specimens to ensure robustness to confirm its reliability and applicability to serial production.
