Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
Among current NDE investigations, one of the important topics is the development of so-called probability-of-detection (POD) models. This activity is important because, given a POD model, one can examine inspection systems quantitatively in terms of flaw detectability. In the area of the eddy-current (EC) testing, there are a few applicable POD models in the literature [1,2]. In this paper, we will report on a generalization of the model constructed by one of the present authors [2]. After the generalization is done, the model becomes applicable to a wider variety of flaws than before.
