In the manufacture of integrated circuits (ICs), copper is used primarily as the multilevel
interconnect material, which is manufactured with a dual damascene technique utilizing …

Gears are used in high power density (power throughput/weight) machines for continuous
power transmission. The efficiency and reliability of gears significantly depend on …

In the tribological design of machine elements, the contact surface topography has an
important influence on the contact pressure, stiffness, and real contact area. It is essential to …

Nowadays, micropitting is perceived as one of the prevalent wear mechanisms, which is
responsible for the breakdown of high power density (power throughput/weight) machines …

The impact of non-Gaussian height distribution and spectral properties on the lubrication
performance of counterformal (point) contacts is quantitatively studied (film parameter, Λ …

The topography analysis of engineered rough surfaces provides an insight for an analysis of
thin film lubrication regime. The systematic characterization of rough surface helps to …

Abstract Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties (STMP) is reaching its 10th Birthday
soon and this paper looks at the inception of the journal and the goals set in the mid 2010s …

The hydrodynamic analysis of isotropic and anisotropic Gaussian surfaces has been studied
well. However, the analysis reported earlier cannot simply apply to non-Gaussian and self …

The weld surface produced by micro-friction stir welding (micro-FSW) exhibit multi-scale
nature. The surface topography of weld surfaces affects the overall strength of components …

There is an increasing demand for high power density (power throughput/weight) machines
such as wind turbines, gear boxes, electric drive trains, and turbines. This requires design of …
