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
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is being proposed to replace traditional scheduled NDE inspections. This is raising questions about how to quantify Probability of Detection (POD) and whether the POD statistical methods of MIL-HDBK 1823 can still be used. The answer depends on the application, the nature of the SHM information, and how that information is mapped into a detect/not-detect decision. This talk will outline some of the issues involved in characterizing POD for different kinds of SHM applications.
