Multifidelity model-assisted probability of detection via Cokriging

This work introduces multifidelity metamodeling for reliability analysis of nondestructive testing (NDT) systems. Specifically, the Cokriging metamodel is utilized to accelerate the uncertainty propagation within model-assisted probability of detection (MAPOD) analysis of ultrasonic testing (UT) systems. The Cokriging multifidelity metamodel fuses a limited amount of data obtained from high-fidelity (HF) physics-based UT models, which are...
