Abstract
The reliability of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods has traditionally been determined through costly round-robin test block trials. Here, an alternative model-based approach is described, where computer simulations are used to predict the probability of detection (POD) versus flaw size curves for components. Uses of such POD curves are shown to include estimating NDE inspection performance, setting of inspection parameters, evaluating the influence of inspections on component reliability, and designing parts with inspectability requirements.
