Recently, the correlation between surface roughness and fineness of materials including
pozzolans has been subjected to too much debate in literature. Exploiting the surface …

Traditionally, the research on thermal contact resistance based on real rough surfaces is
often limited to the uniform load. This study investigated the effects of the material, surface …

The scope of multifunctional surfaces in mechanical engineering and instrumentation is
constantly expanding. Examples are products with multilayer coatings, products made of …

The increasing requirement of high-power density (power throughput/weight) in modern day
machines lead to thin film lubrication condition in various machine components (rolling …

Surface roughness characterization is associated with sampling parameters during
measurement, but little was reported on sampling scale selection for 3D surface topography …

Surface integrity influences the material fatigue performance significantly, but most
micromechanical models based on crystal plasticity only consider the microstructure of the …

Mechanical interfaces are ubiquitous in devices like the micro-electromechanical system.
The surface morphology plays a crucial role in thermal transport across interfaces. However …

Starting from the observation that regular shape parameters such as equivalent diameter,
area-perimeter ratio, circularity, compactness and roundness fail to adequately identify …

At present, the prediction of wear failure is often based on temperature, friction coefficient,
vibration, and other single or a few macroscopic parameters to judge the contact condition of …

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 …
