The Application of Case-Based Reasoning to Ultrasonic Data for Use in Inspection Qualification
D. McNab · AIP conference proceedings · 2003
This paper describes the application of case‐based reasoning (CBR) to provide decision support for the NDT engineer during Inspection Qualification. A key element of this process is to present experimental evidence on the effectiveness of the inspection. A prototype for the system has been developed using a case‐base which describes the defect, the probe and response. This paper discusses the motivation for the system, the case structure, weightings, similarity measures, retrieval techniques and its design and implementation.
