4th European-American Workshop on Reliability of NDE

BAM – Berlin, Germany – June 24th – 26th, 2009

Objective and Workshop Structure
First day:

The first day will focus on new scientific insights to make the methods for the measurement of reliability and
validation more efficient like:

  • Design of Experiments
  • Multi Parameter POD (extended a)
  • Data Field POD (extended â)
  • Receiver Operating Characteristics for specified conditions
  • Minimum effort approaches
  • Modelling MAPOD
  • Systematic Psychological Approach to Human Factor
Second Day

Specific demands and solutions for specific industrial applications 

  • Aerospace and other Transportation
  • Automotive
  • Nuclear Power: Performance Demonstration/ENIQ
  • Chemical
  • Certification in NDE societies
  • Characterization of the performance of structural health monitoring systems
Third Day

Integrating NDE results in overall Risk Analysis and Life Time Conceptions

Workshop Conclusions

Each day specific break-out-sessions are foreseen which will be summarized at the last day in the workshop conclusions.

  • The overall question to be answered might be: What is influencing the performance of NDE and how can we measure and optimize what we want to know with minimum effort?
  • Paradigm Shift: In the past the POD and ROC-Methods were applied for a final judgement of the NDE-systems. Now, with the experience of ENIQ and other complex industrial application scenarios the multi parameter POD shall be applied as an optimization tool where a certain parameter setting is assigned to a certain reliability.
  • The human factor influences need to be treated systematically with the tools of psychology not only for the individual inspectors but also for the organizational context and environmental factor.
