Abstract |
The relations between data from test methods and conditions in structural elements are considered. NDE(Nondestructive Evaluation) methods are joint application of a test and a basis for interpretation of data obtained in the test. Correct assessments of conditions of elements depend on the inaccuracy and variability in the test data and on the uncertainty of correlations between attributes(what is measured) and conditions(what is sought in the inspection). A full description of the performance of NDE methods considers the relation of test data to condition of elements. The quality of the test data itself is important, but equally important is the interpretation that occurs after the test. To make the decision of the performance of NDE methods, this paper presents mathematical basis to measure the reliability of NDE methods.
