The performances of completed manufacturing processes were evaluated using the surface response to excitation (SuRE) and Lamb wave methods. Both methods used the same piezoelectric elements attached to the surface of the workpiece. The SuRE method and the Lamb wave method were used to identify the structural changes created by welding, drilling, coating, filling a slot with glue, and composite patching. This study indicates that the tested methods are feasible for part based process performance monitoring (PbPPM) which evaluates the quality of the completed process with the sensors attached to the workpiece.
