Abstract:
This paper presents Design for Inspectability (DfI), a type of design for X which seeks to enable the design of parts of high value such that they may be more easily and effectively inspected by non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods during manufacture and operation. To enable steps towards its realisation, the contribution of this paper lies in: (1) outlining the nine key requirements of DfI based on the needs of the NDE techniques; (2) identifying how design processes could be amended to embed DfI; and (3) proposing four enabling technologies that could underpin DfI.
