The project will develop a combination of theoretical mathematical techniques, numerical methods, and Machine Learning algorithms to improve the modelling of the ultrasonic inspection of highly complex and challenging defect species that pose a critical safety risk for industrial plant. It will complement the RCNDE Core Project MUSICA (Modelling UltraSonic Inspection of Challenging defects for Automated analysis, starting March 2023), extending the work there for thermal fatigue and hydrogen cracking to branched stress corrosion cracks. The project will consider a wide range of ultrasonic inspection techniques beyond conventional single crystal scanning, including phased array and full matrix capture. The project is aligned with several important topics identified in the NDEvR 5,10, 20-year RCNDE Vision, including characterisation and sizing of complex rough defects for both the Nuclear and Power Generation sectors, development of simulation and modelling techniques, and development towards the implementation of AI and digital twins for autonomous decision making.

该项目将开发理论数学技术、数值方法和机器学习算法的组合，以改进对高度复杂和具有挑战性的缺陷种类进行超声波检测的建模，这些缺陷对工业工厂构成了关键的安全风险。它将补充 RCNDE 核心项目 MUSICA（对自动化分析的挑战性缺陷进行建模超声检查，自 2023 年 3 月开始），将热疲劳和氢裂纹工作扩展到分支应力腐蚀裂纹。该项目将考虑传统单晶扫描之外的各种超声波检测技术，包括相控阵和全矩阵捕获。该项目与 NDEvR 5,10、20 年 RCNDE 愿景中确定的几个重要主题保持一致，包括核能和发电领域复杂粗糙缺陷的表征和尺寸确定、模拟和建模技术的开发以及面向实施人工智能和数字孪生以进行自主决策。
