Claim 0:
1. A method of developing a predictive model of wear and remaining useful life of a steel wheel or steel rim of an off the road vehicle on site, the method comprising: selecting a system comprising a computer, the computer having a processor, a memory, the memory to provide instructions to the processor, and a user interface; a non-integral eddy current array probe in electronic communication with the computer; and repeatedly over time: standardizing the eddy current array probe with a reference standard; placing the eddy current array probe on a surface of the steel wheel or steel rim; periodically scanning the steel wheel or steel rim with an alternating current; sending data to the computer; the computer analyzing the data; the computer displaying a three-dimensional image of the data set on the user interface; the computer analyzing, compiling and storing the data; the computer determining changes in the data over time, statistically analyzing the changes in relation to time to provide a set of time-based features, applying the time-based features as input values to a selected transformation, and developing a predictive model of wear and remaining useful life of the steel wheel or rim using the selected transformation, wherein multiple wheels and rims are tested concomitantly.
