Abstract :
In order to better characterize the capacitance discharge welding operation, a stress wave emission (SWE) model has been devised. The transfer function existing between the welding¿ power supply and the SWE detector is found. From the impulse response of the transfer function, it is shown that the welding operation and SWE detection are linear (almost) time invariant processes.
