The main challenge in the commercialization of the RF-MEMS switches is their reliability,
related to both the electrical and mechanical domains. The development of test standards …

We present a numerical study of the effects of surface roughness, which is unavoidable due
to manufacturing tolerance, on laminar flow and heat transfer in microchannels. Three …

In the present study, the green-renewable Watermelon extract (WME): Zn inhibitive
complexes were introduced in order to reduce the mild steel (MS) corrosion in a 3.5 …

Characterization of surface topography, roughly divided into measurement and data
analysis, can be valuable in the process of validation of the tribological performance of …

In this paper, the validity of the application of an autocorrelation function for resolving some
surface topography measurement problems was presented. Various types of surfaces were …

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a very promising next-generation semiconductor material for power
device applications, and polishing technology plays an important role in improving the …

Additive manufacturing has received significant interest in the fabrication of functional
channels for heat transfer; however, the inherent rough surface finish of the additively …

A Monte Carlo method is presented for simulating rough surfaces with the fractal behavior.
The simulation is based on power-law size distribution of asperity diameter and self-affine …

Modeling rough surfaces has emerged as a distinct discipline of considerable research
interest in interface behaviors including membrane fouling. In this paper, a facile method …

One way to diminish the steel corrosion rate and enhance its lifetime in the saline (NaCl-
