This Data Book consolidates and organizes available reference data for demonstrated NDE performance capabilities into a single source. Guidelines are presented for selecting options for use of NDE and for assessing the potential to meet design requirements (critical flaw detection requirements). Guidelines for demonstration of specific NDE process capabilities are also presented. Following a 65 page text (7 chapters) describing various aspects of NDE capabilities quantification, probability of detection (POD), and damage tolerance concepts, 423 POD curves are organized and presented in a series of Appendices organized by NDE method. A documentation page precedes each dataset and provides a condensed description of the test object, test artifact and data collection conditions follow the documentation page. POD data are generally presented as a function of crack length. For selected datasets, POD data are also presented as a function of crack depth and crack depth-to-thickness ratio. POD curves are based on hit/miss data using the log-logistic model. Original reference source information is provided for each dataset.

Materials Science and Engineering theme is a component of Encyclopedia of Physical Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Materials Science and Engineering is concerned with the development and selection of the best possible material for a particular engineering task and the determination of the most effective method of producing the materials and the component. The Theme with contributions from distinguished experts in the field, discusses Materials Science and Engineering. In this theme the history of materials is traced and the concept of structure (atomic structure, microstructure and defect structure) and its relationship to properties developed. The theme is structured in five main topics: Materials Science and Engineering; Optimization of Materials Properties; Structural and Functional Materials; Materials Processing and Manufacturing Technologies; Detection of Defects and Assessment of Serviceability; Materials of the Future, which are then expanded into multiple subtopics, each as a chapter. These three volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs

The comprehensive reference on modern techniques and methods for monitoring and inspecting corrosion Strategic corrosion inspection and monitoring can improve asset management and life cycle assessment and optimize operational budgets. Advances in computer technologies and electronics have led to very efficient tools for monitoring and inspecting corrosion, including impedance spectroscopy, electrical field signatures, acoustic emissions, and radiographs. This up-to-date reference explains both intrusive and non-intrusive methods of measuring corrosion rates. It covers: The impact of corrosion on the economy and the safe operation of systems in diverse operational environments The various forms of corrosion, with a focus on the detectability of corrosion damage in the real world The principles of risk-based inspection and various risk assessment methodologies (HAZOP, FMECA, FTA, and ETA), with examples from industry The monitoring of microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC), cathodic protection (CP) systems, and atmospheric corrosion Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, including visual, ultrasonic, radiographic, electromagnetic, and thermographic inspection Roadmaps used by various industries and organizations for carrying out complex inspection and monitoring schedules Complete with graphics and illustrations, this is the definitive reference for professionals involved in the maintenance of industrial systems and structures, from oil exploration to chemical plants and infrastructures; consultants; property managers; and civil, materials, and construction engineers.
