Popis: The present article addresses a generation of predictive models that assesses the thickness and length of internal defects in additive manufacturing materials. These modes use data from the application of active transient thermography numerical simulation. In this manner, the raised procedure is an ad-hoc hybrid method that integrates finite element simulation and machine learning models using different predictive feature sets and characteristics (i.e., regression, Gaussian regression, support vector machines, multilayer perceptron, and random forest). The performance results for each model were statistically analyzed, evaluated, and compared in terms of predictive performance, processing time, and outlier sensibility to facilitate the choice of a predictive method to obtain the thickness and length of an internal defect from thermographic monitoring. The best model to predictdefect thickness with six thermal features was interaction linear regression. To make predictive models for defect length and thickness, the best model was Gaussian process regression. However, models such as support vector machines also had significative advantages in terms of processing time and adequate performance for certain feature sets. In this way, the results showed that the predictive capability of some types of algorithms could allow for the detection and measurement of internal defects in materials produced by additive manufacturing using active thermography as a non-destructive test. This research was funded by Ministry of Science and Innovation, Government of Spain, through the research project titled Fusion of non-destructive technologies and numerical simulation methods for the inspection and monitoring of joints in new materials and additive manufacturing processes (FaTIMA) with code RTI2018-099850-B-I00. The authors are grateful to the Fundación Universidad de Salamanca for the indirect support provided by the ITACA proof-of-concept project (PC_TCUE_18-20_047), being this helpful for some of the purposes of this article.
