Machine-Learning Approach to Determine Surface Quality on a Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Steel
Applied Sciences, 2022 Surface quality measures such as roughness, and especially its uncertain character, affect most magnetic non-destructive testing methods and limits their performance in terms of an achievable signal-to-noise ratio and reliability. This paper is primarily
