This book provides best-practice guidance and practical
recommendations on the use of numerical simulation for
probability of detection (POD) curve estimation in the study of
non-destructive testing reliability. It focuses on ultrasonic
testing (UT) weld inspection but many of the principles can be
applied to a broader range of techniques and situations.

The first part lists and briefly describes the principal
documents that establish the recommended statistical framework
adapted for POD curve estimation. It also presents the most
important initiatives on the model assisted probability of
detection (MAPOD) approach in recent years. The second part
provides details of the advantages and limitations of the
simulation in this context. The third part then describes the
prerequisites for the use of simulation (validation of the
software, expertise of the user), and the fourth and main part
offers the methodology and guidance as well as possible
applications for using POD curves determined using simulation.
