Anomaly Detection Method for Hybrid Workpieces Using Dynamic Time Warping

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Monitoring of hybrid workpieces: when machining hybrid workpieces, unavoidable axial deviations of the material transition zone cause temporal shifts in the process force signals. A new anomaly detection method based on dynamic time warping is proposed to detect material defects.
