Quantitative nondestructive evaluation(QNDE) gets hold of position and shape of defects in mechanical components and estimates safety of structure. The ultrasonic defect detection out of QNDE is based on refraction of ultrasonic wave by defects in solid material. Neural network is information processing system modeling human brain and has an application to defect identification with ultrasonic defect detection. The present method consists of three process. The first process gets sample data on defect and ultrasonic wave parameters according to various defect patterns. In the second process, Neural networks is learned using sample data. In third process, neural networks predicts defect patterns by unlearned data This processes are applied to the identification of size and location of defects hidden in SM45C.
