Abstract

ABSTRACT In the UK, the NDE community is making a coordinated effort to underpin and enable the full benefits of the large-scale trend toward comprehensive digitalization and automation of industrial processes and assets, frequently referred to as “Industry 4.0”. Certain facets of what is now considered to be NDE 4.0 have been the subject of research for some time and have already gained industrial traction, while others are quite new, with unexplored potential and pitfalls. However, in these areas there is scope for learning from progress in fields outside of, but related to, NDE such as dimensional metrology. This paper reviews progress to date based on UK activities, considers some planned and potential research tasks in this domain, and highlights the major challenges the NDE community must tackle. In particular, as interoperability and data reuse are key features of Industry 4.0 practices, international and cross-domain efforts on data format standardization are needed. It is clear that, without the NDE community stepping up to the challenge, much of Industry 4.0 cannot be realized; yet if the NDE 4.0 vision is implemented comprehensively, NDE has the potential to become more capable, more valuable, and therefore more highly valued.

英国迈向NDE 4.0的进展

在英国，NDE社区正在做出协调一致的努力，以支持和实现工业过程和资产全面数字化和自动化的大规模趋势的全部好处，通常被称为“工业4.0”。现在被认为是NDE 4.0的某些方面已经研究了一段时间，并且已经获得了工业的牵引力，而其他方面则相当新，具有未开发的潜力和陷阱。然而，在这些领域中，可以从无损检验以外但与之相关的领域(如尺寸计量)的进展中学习。本文回顾了迄今为止基于英国活动的进展，考虑了该领域的一些计划和潜在的研究任务，并强调了NDE社区必须解决的主要挑战。特别是，由于互操作性和数据重用是工业4.0实践的关键特征，因此需要在数据格式标准化方面进行国际和跨领域的努力。很明显，如果没有NDE社区积极应对挑战，工业4.0的大部分目标都无法实现;然而，如果全面实现NDE 4.0的愿景，NDE有可能变得更有能力，更有价值，因此更有价值。

期刊介绍： Research in Nondestructive Evaluation® is the archival research journal of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, Inc. RNDE® contains the results of original research in all areas of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The journal covers experimental and theoretical investigations dealing with the scientific and engineering bases of NDE, its measurement and methodology, and a wide range of applications to materials and structures that relate to the entire life cycle, from manufacture to use and retirement. Illustrative topics include advances in the underlying science of acoustic, thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical and ionizing radiation techniques and their applications to NDE problems. These problems include the nondestructive characterization of a wide variety of material properties and their degradation in service, nonintrusive sensors for monitoring manufacturing and materials processes, new techniques and combinations of techniques for detecting and characterizing hidden discontinuities and distributed damage in materials, standardization concepts and quantitative approaches for advanced NDE techniques, and long-term continuous monitoring of structures and assemblies. Of particular interest is research which elucidates how to evaluate the effects of imperfect material condition, as quantified by nondestructive measurement, on the functional performance.
