Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

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

Unified life-cycle engineering (ULCE) is an approach that combines aspects of concurrent engineering, total quality management, and retirement-for-cause (RFC) strategies at the early design stage of components [1–3]. In order to implement ULCE approaches, inspectability, reliability, and the other “ilities” of Fig. 1 must be linked to areas such as quality assurance, life-cycle costs, and materials and processes in a comprehensive design environment.
