Summary of Practice4.1 This practice describes, step-by-step, the process foranalyzing nondestructive testing versus a data resulting froma POD examination, including minimum requirements forvalidating the resulting POD curve.4.2 This practi

Significance and Use5.1 The POD analysis method described herein

21、is based onwell-known and well-established statistical methods. It shall beused to quantify the demonstrated POD for a specific set ofexamination parameters and known range of discontinuitysizes under the following conditions.5.1.1 The initial response from a nondestructive evaluationinspection syst

22、em is measurable and can be classified as acontinuous variable.5.1.2 The relationship between discontinuity size (a) andmeasured signal response () exists and is best described by alinear regression model with an error structure that is normallydistributed with mean zero and constant variance, 2. (N

23、otethat “linear” refers to linear with respect to the model coeffi-cients. For example, a quadratic model y 5011x12x2is alinear model.)5.2 This practice does not limit the use of other statisticalmodels if justified as more appropriate for the versus a data.5.3 This practice is not appropriate for d

24、ata resulting from aPOD examination on nondestructive evaluation systems thatgenerate an initial response that is binary in nature (forexample, hit/miss). Practice E2862 is appropriate for systemsthat generate a hit/miss-type response (for example, fluorescentpenetrant).5.4 Prior to performing the a

25、nalysis it is assumed that thediscontinuity of interest is clearly defined; the number anddistribution of induced discontinuity sizes in the POD speci-men set is known and well documented; the POD examinationadministration procedure (including data collection method) iswell designed, well defined, u

26、nder control, and unbiased; theinitial inspection system response is measurable and continu-ous in nature; the inspection system is calibrated; and themeasurement error has been evaluated and deemed acceptable.The analysis results are only valid if the versus a data areaccurate and precise and the l

27、inear model adequately representsthe versus a data.5.5 The POD analysis method described herein is consistentwith the analysis method for versus a data described inMIL-HDBK-1823A and is included in several widely utilizedPOD software packages to perform a POD analysis on versusa data. It is also fou

28、nd in statistical software packages that havelinear regression capability. This practice requires that theanalyst has access to either POD software or other softwarewith linear regression capability.6. Procedure6.1 The POD analysis objective shall be clearly defined bythe responsible engineer or by

29、the customer.6.2 The analyst shall obtain the versus a data resultingfrom the POD examination, which shall include at a minimumthe documented known induced discontinuity sizes, the asso-ciated measured signal response, and any false calls.6.3 The analyst shall also obtain specific information aboutt

30、he POD examination, which shall include at a minimum thespecimen standard geometry (e.g., flat panels), specimen stan-dard material (e.g., Nickel), examination date, number ofinspectors, type of inspection method (e.g., Eddy CurrentInspection), pertinent information about the instrument andinstructi

31、ons for use (e.g., settings, probe type, scan path), andpertinent comments from the inspector(s) and test administra-tor.6.3.1 In general, the results of an experiment apply to theconditions under which the experiment was conducted. Hence,the POD analysis results apply to the conditions under whicht

32、he POD examination was conducted.6.4 Prior to performing the analysis, the analyst shallconduct a preliminary review of the POD examination proce-dure to identify any issues with the administration of theexamination. The analyst shall identify and attempt to resolveany issues prior to conducting the

33、 POD analysis. Identifiedissues and their resolution shall be documented in the report.Examples of examination administration issues and possibleresolutions are outlined in the following subsections.6.4.1 If problems or interruptions occurred during the PODexamination that may bias the results, the

34、POD examinationshould be re-administered.6.4.2 If the examination procedure was poorly designedand/or executed, the validity of the resulting data is question-able. In this case, the examination procedure design andexecution should be reevaluated. For design guidelines seeMIL-HDBK-1823A.E3023 1526.5

35、 Prior to performing the analysis, the analyst shallconduct a preliminary review of the versus a data to identifyany data issues. The analyst shall identify and attempt toresolve any issues prior to conducting the POD analysis.Identified issues and their resolution shall be documented in thereport.

36、Examples of data issues and possible resolutions areoutlined in the following subsections.6.5.1 Any apparent outlying observations shall be reviewedfor correctness. If a typo is identified, the typo shall becorrected prior to performing the analysis. If the value iscorrect, it shall be retained in t

37、he analysis and its influence onthe versus a model shall be evaluated during the modeldiagnostic assessment. The analyst should also reference Prac-tice E178.6.5.2 POD cannot be modeled as a continuous function ofdiscontinuity size if all the measured signal responses arebelow the noise threshold or

38、 above the saturation threshold. Ifthis occurs, the adequacy of the nondestructive testing systemshould be evaluated.6.6 Only versus a data for induced discontinuities shall beused in the development of the linear regression model. Falsecall data shall not be included in the development of the linea

39、rmodel when using standard linear regression methods.6.7 The analyst in conjunction with the responsible engineershall determine the value of the noise threshold, noise, andsaturation threshold, sat, prior to performing the analysis.6.7.1 The value of noiseis determined by performing anoise analysis

40、. A noise analysis is typically accomplished byassessing the distribution of measured signal responses fromsites with no known discontinuity (false calls) and/or measuredsignal responses that are not influenced by the size of thediscontinuities (noise). Details on performing a noise analysiscan be f

41、ound in MIL-HDBK-1823A.6.8 The analyst shall select an appropriate linear regressionmodel to establish the relationship between and a. Selectionof a linear model may be an iterative process as the significanceof the predictor variable(s) and the appropriateness of theselected model are typically ass

42、essed after the model has beendeveloped.6.8.1 “Linear” refers to linear with respect to the modelcoefficients. For example, yi5b01b1x2! and yi5b01b1x11b2lnx2! are linear regression models.6.8.2 In general, only significant and uncorrelated predictorvariables are included in a regression model. If mo

43、re than onepredictor variable is being considered for inclusion in themodel, a preliminary graphical analysis of the response vari-able against each predictor variable may help identify whichpredictor variables appear to influence the response and thetype of relationship (for example, direct, invers

44、e, quadratic). Inaddition, a preliminary graphical analysis of all possiblepairings of predictor variables shall be performed to verifyindependence of the predictor variables. When plotted againsteach other, there should be no apparent relationship betweenany two predictor variables.6.8.3 The approp

45、riateness of a selected model is determinedby how well the model fits the observed data and how well theunderlying regression assumptions are met.6.9 The analyst shall use software that has the appropriatelinear regression capabilities to perform a linear regressionanalysis on the versus a data.6.9.

46、1 If censored data are present, the analyst shall do thefollowing:6.9.1.1 Include and identify the censored data in the analysis(according to the notation required by the software).6.9.1.2 Use the method of maximum likelihood to estimatethe model coefficients.6.9.1.3 Verify that convergence was achi

47、eved. If conver-gence is not achieved, the resulting versus a model shall notbe used to develop a POD curve.6.9.1.4 Check the number of iterations it took to convergeprovided that information on convergence and the number ofiterations it took to converge is included in the analysissoftware output. I

48、f more than twenty iterations were needed toreach convergence, the model may not be reliable.6.9.1.5 Include a statement in the report indicating thatconvergence was achieved and the number of iterations neededto achieve convergence.6.9.2 If no censored data are present, the method of maxi-mum likel

49、ihood or the method of least squares shall be used.6.10 If included in the analysis software output, the analystshall assess the significance of the predictor variables in themodel. Only significant predictor variables should be includedin the model.6.11 Once the versus a model is estimated, the analystshall use, at a minimum, the model diagnostic methods listedbelow to assess the underlying linear regression assumptions.The methods listed below shall be performed using onlynon-censored data.
