Risk Based Quality Assessment Peter Hammersberg SCeNDT Scientific Centre of NDT Project portfolio

4 SCeNDT Research area Applied mathematical modeling of NDE methods Develop and experimental validation of mathematical models of different NDE methods Apply mathematical modeling in the development of NDT as a tool for material characterization (NDC) Use mathematical modeling in the development of new NDT techniques Integrity and quality assessment by NDE (IqNDE) Risk Based Quality Assessment (identification of risks, classification, probability of occurrence and probability of detection) Generate Probability of Detection curves (POD) based on simulated data Education ISI Technologies (graduate and PhD) Education for industry (graduate level)

Attenuation Single scattering with backwall Include viscous damping (e -ax ) Validation (literature) c 1. 2c I i i 3. Anisotropic behavior (UT) Statistic approach (distribution of grain size and properties) 4. LUS Modeling of the LUS Implementation in simsundt Validation

9 Modeling of the LUS LUS Aluminium 2.84 mm x u z (x) x = 0 mm x = 2.9 mm L S 3L S->R 5L 3S+4LS 3L2S

10 Nondestructive Characterization (NDC) Grain size correlation based on backscattered UT information z y x 5 mm 10 mm l 10 mm Ref. pore = 0.1 mm mm y Ref. pore = 0.1 mm mm z 10 mm x A. Li, R. Roberts, P. Haldipur, F.J. Margetan and R.B. Thompson, Computational Study of Grain Scattering Effects in Ultrasonic Measurements, in Review of Progress in QNDE, (2003). 10 mm

11 Different grain size distributions used in the simulation

12 Backscattered amplitude (db), 5 MHz (80%) Noise levels (mean values based on 225 points above the control volume) as function of grain size and their distributions. Inclusions with identical elastic properties (blue, 10% higher stiffness than the matrix) are compared with normal distributions (black, Norm I from 0 to 20% higher stiffness).

13 Backscattered amplitude (linear), 8 MHz (75%)

14 Experimental validation (LUS) The right figure (simulations) is based on mean values from 225 values above the volume with 10 individual distribution (all Norm I) and the left figure (LUS) is based on mean values (FFT of back reflected echo) from 10 measuring points z y x 5 mm 10 mm l 10 mm Ref. pore = 0.1 mm y Ref. pore = 0.1 mm z 10 mm x 10 mm Experimental data provided by Swerea KIMAB (ref. Peter Lundin)

15 Experimental validation (LUS) When only one distribution is used the correlation is not that obvious procedure based on frequency content must be based on a number of points

16 IqNDE in manufacturing industries Non-destructive Quality Assessment based on hybrid modelling Today: empirical based model is used in order to define a go/no go value Today: time consuming destructive examinations Today: amplitude, time of flight, frequency and phase information (UT) are reduced down to a binary information x 0 empirical x 0 accept Project: meta-models to combine experimental with corresponding simulated data Project: dynamically built meta-model (AI) Project: continues assessment of quality related material parameters Project: can be combined with process parameters and contribute to deeper understanding of process variations time

17 IqNDE in manufacturing industries Non-destructive Quality Assessment based on hybrid modelling -NDT is indirect in its nature. Let x 0 be the addressed material property and be the signal response (NDT) with assumed correlation Empirical model: x 0 =x 0 ( ) Analytical model: m (x 0, x 1... x k ) Semi-analytical model: analytical empirical x 0 semi-analytical production cycles
