Research abstract
NDE data has become "Big Data", and is overwhelming the abilities of NDE technicians and commercially available tools to deal with it. In the current state of the art in industrial practice, there is no integration of the NDE data into design data, NDE models, and structural integrity models for a holistic structural capability assessment. Our proposal responds to these issues described in the subtopic H13.01, Advanced NDE Modeling and Analysis.
TRI/Austin, Iowa State University's Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE), and Computational Tools are teaming to develop a coherent set of tools for NDE and SHM data: the NDEToolbox™. The significance of the innovations are that these sets of tools enable "big data" methods to be applied to NDE, and to integrate NDE within the digital thread of design, manufacturing, and operation of large composite structures for space and aerospace applications.
