Abstract
Provided are a shape model setting circuitry for setting a shape model of a target structure, a crack candidate plane in the shape model, and an observation plane of the shape model, an estimation model generator for generating an estimation model obtained from a numerical analysis of a structural analysis model by sequentially changing a boundary condition of the crack candidate plane in the structural analysis model generated from the shape model, and a crack state analyzer for estimating a position and a size of the crack by obtaining a distribution of load and displacement in the crack candidate plane at the same time by probabilistic inference through the application of an observation plane deformation vector indicating deformation of the observation plane obtained from measurement values, the estimation model, and a latent variable indicating presence or absence of the crack in the crack candidate plane.
