Zusammenfassung:METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IN-PROCESS QUALITY CONTROL DURING DRILL-FILL ASSEMBLY A method for assembling a structure is described. The method includes locating a position in an assembly stack-up (310) where a one-sided fastener (300) is to be installed, drilling a hole (524) through the assembly stack-up at the position, countersinking the hole (524) to a specified depth, operating a calibrated probe (532) to determine at least parameter associated with one or more of the hole (524) and the stack-up (310) proximate the hole (524), inserting the one-sided fastener (300) into the hole (524), applying a rotational torque to the one-sided fastener (300) to complete installation of the one-sided fastener (300), and comparing a measurement of angular displacement required to complete installation of the one-sided fastener (300) to a range of angular displacement indicative of correct installation of the fastener (300).
