Abstract
Inspection by nondestructive testing techniques is not perfect and it has become common practice to quantify the reliability of flaw detection in terms of the probability of detection (POD) and the probability of false indication. Experimental measurement of these quantities is expensive and attention has therefore recently turned to modelling them. This paper discusses the benefits of, approaches to and applications of POD modelling. Examples are given of the application of POD models developed by AEA Technology
