Patent number: 4987367Abstract: Measurement of a physical property such as coercive force of a member to be inspected is performed at a plurality of locations in one region of the member. Similar measurement is performed in a plurality of different regions of the member and a maximum or minimum value (extreme value) is determined for each of the regions. On the basis of the extreme values thus determined, a recurrence period is determined in accordance with an extreme value statistic theory with the aid of a computer, whereon an estimated maximum value of the physical property of the member as a whole is determined from the recurrence period. On the basis of the estimated maximum value, the degree of deterioration of the member is predicted by the computer by consulting the data indicating the previously determined relation between the physical property and the degree of deterioration.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1989Date of Patent: January 22, 1991Assignee: Hitachi, LtdInventors: Yuichi Ishikawa, Toshihiko Yoshimura, Tasuku Shimizu, Masahiro Otaka, Kazuo Takaku
