Description

In order to shorten the in-service inspection (ISI) period, an expert system has been developed. This computer system first extracts the characteristic of defect from nondestructive examination (NDE) information and then, using plant data and experts' knowledge, estimates the kind and the cause of defect. Furthermore, it performs an assessment of defect based on ASME Sec. XI. Fuzzy theory can be applied to represent ambiguous data in defect identification. The result applied is shown in this paper, as well as the result obtained
