1. A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method comprising acts of:

  • receiving at least two sets of sensor data, each of the at least two sets of sensor data comprising spatial data for a measured material condition of a component;

    spatially registering the at least two sets of sensor data with respect to each other and the component;

    computing a change in the material condition of the component from the spatially registered at least two sets of sensor data;

    estimating the current condition based at least in part on the change in the material condition; and

    predicting a future condition of the component at a future time based at least in part on the estimated current condition, the future condition of the component being predicted using a database comprising a plurality of precomputed material conditions of the component, each precomputed material condition computed for a respective operating condition and time;

    the method further comprising generating the precomputed material conditions using a flaw growth model;

    storing the precomputed material conditions in the database;

    filtering at least one of the at least two sets of sensor data with at least one flaw signature; and

    estimating a current condition of the component from the filtered sensor data, and a stored database of historical sensor data from a simple element selected to represent the component material and flaw growth behavior.
