Statistical Assessment of Probability of Detection for Automated Eddy Current Nondestructive Evaluation Inspection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eddy current inspection is widely used in nondestructive evaluation to detect cracks in metal structures. The impedance plane measurement response collected using our motion controlled eddy current inspection system, are used in the analysis. A scalar reduction from the impedance plane response is used to minimize human-factor variation. We apply a noise interference model to the data from a large-scale experiment taking measurements on fastener rivet holes in multi-layer structures with fatigue cracks, and estimate the probability of detection (POD). The estimates of POD as a function of crack size will be valuable for future model-assisted POD study.

Design of Nondestructive System for Hardness of Carbonitrided Steel Parts Using Eddy Current Testing Method: Case study on the Tappet Parts
In this paper, a non-destructive eddy current test system was designed to evaluate the surface hardness of the carbonitrided steel parts. For this purpose, various samples of the tappet were used after the surface hardening and grinding operations as control samples and, if necessary, were subjected to destructive and non-destructive tests. Microstructural studies were performed with a microsco...
متن کاملNondestructive Testing and Evaluation of Steel Bridges
Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is a means of evaluating structural components without damaging them. It can be used to evaluate structural systems, as well as specific structural components. Nondestructive testing is particularly useful for evaluating inservice bridges, since the bridges can remain in tact and open to traffic during the inspection and evaluation period. The NDE methods discuss...

Precipitation hardening is the most common method in the strengthening of aluminium alloys. This method relies on the decrease of solid solubility with temperature reduction to produce fine precipitations which impede the movement of dislocations. The quality control of aluminium alloy specimens is an important concern of engineers. Among different methods, non-destructive techniques are the...
