About the mh1823 POD software
The deliverables of my 2006-2007 contract to update MIL-HDBK-1823 included the draft of the updated Handbook and algorithms necessary to implement the methods described in the Handbook. Software was not a deliverable item.
However it soon became clear to me that delivering descriptions of statistical algorithms, with no convenient implementation of them, would be of limited utility, so I wrote the mh1823 POD software suite to help promulgate the handbook's methods. The software is protected under the Perl Foundation's Artistic License 2.0.
Since the software is mine, I am making it available to anyone who requests it. I have no Government support to maintain the software or to provide bug fixes, so I am doing this gratis; nonetheless, any financial support would be appreciated.
How to download, install, and use the mh1823 POD Software:
(Please read all the instructions before continuing.)
First, get things ready:
- Create a folder called R-Projects in your My Documents folder.
- In that folder create a subfolder named mh1823 POD
-
Next,download the
mh1823 POD package and example datasets:
Since the One-click download was "temporarily" disabled March 2007 you can get the software by request.
Save the MIL-HDBK-1823 POD files.zip to your mh1823 POD folder and unzip it. This will produce the 1823 POD icon, 6 EXCEL files, and another zip file. Do not unzip that file (currently mh1823_2.5.4.4.zip).
The rest is easy:
Since the mh1823 POD algorithms use R for all data manipulation, statistical analysis, and graphics ...
- Download and install R. Click here.
- Then install the mh1823 POD software which is an R package and is included in the MIL-HDBK-1823 POD files.zipfile. Click here.
Note on firewalls:
- Downloading software on the company computer may run afoul of enterprise policy. One remedy is to install R and the mh1823 POD package on a 1 gig memory stick. (It takes about 1/4 gig total.) Then you can analyze NDE data, and produce POD vs size curves, on any computer - plug in the stick and you're good to go. All the analysis, results and plots will be on the stick.
