MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621010319 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 31, for 'system for predicting mechanical properties and welded polymer joints.'

Inventor(s) include Mihir Potnis; Harshvardhan Shinde; A. Pavan Siddhardh; Dr. Mandar Sapre; and Dr. Vijaykumar S. Jatti.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present subject matter to a system (100) for predicting mechanical properties and weld quality of friction stir spot welded polymer joints. The system (100) includes a welding assembly (102) configured to perform welding on thermoplastic workpieces using parameters such as spindle rotational speed, plunge depth, and dwell time. A data-mining module (106) receives these welding parameters (104) and organizes them into a structured dataset for evaluation. A property prediction module (108) estimates mechanical characteristics of the welded joint, including ultimate tensile strength and elongation, using regression-based analytical models. A classification module (110) further assesses weld quality by applying predefined thresholds to the predicted properties, determining whether the joint is acceptable or unacceptable. The invention provides a parameter-driven and structured approach for understanding weld behavior, reducing reliance on extensive testing and subjective inspection. The system (100) supports consistent weld-quality evaluation in polymer joining applications requiring predictable, repeatable, and quantifiable performance characteristics."
