The overall objective of this initiative is to establish a comprehensive methodology for model-assisted POD evaluation with reduced empirical testing. The first aim is to investigate the use of simulation and statistical models to help assess the statistical implications of only having a limited sample set. The second aim is to explore challenging transfer function examples, considering interaction effects between flaw type and part geometry state. Model validation will be performed to assess model accuracy and viability to support limited set POD and transfer function approaches. This initiative is expected to revitalize the core capability at CNDE in NDE simulation and reliability evaluation.
