No surface is perfectly flat at every length scale. However, all natural and man-made
surfaces show some degree of roughness. Therefore, it is imperative to know how surface …

Accurate description of the topography of active fault surfaces represents an important
geophysical issue because this topography is strongly related to the stress distribution along …

The morphology of a fracture in a granite block is sampled using a high resolution profiler
providing a 3999× 4000 pixel image of the roughness. We checked that a self-affine model …

Stylolites are dynamic roughly planar surfaces formed by pressure solution of blocks of rocks
into each other. The three‐dimensional geometry of 12 bedding‐parallel stylolites in several …

We propose a possible model for the origin of the spatial fluctuations of the stress field along
faults and test our model in the case of the Nojima fault, Japan where unique estimates of …

Vertical stylolites are pressure solution features, which are considered to be caused by
horizontal tectonic loading, with the largest principal compressive stress being (sub‐) …

Stylolites are rough surfaces that form by localized dissolution. Despite their abundance in
carbonates and sandstones, and their importance for fluid flow and rock deformation, many …

A model that allows the quantitative analysis of heterogeneous strain fields in epitaxial thin
films using x-ray diffraction (XRD) is presented. Particular emphasis is laid on the modelling …

Approximate analytic expressions for haze (and gloss) of Gaussian randomly rough surfaces
for various types of correlation functions are derived within phase-perturbation theory. The …

The topography of a rough surface determines many of its physical properties, for instance,
tribology, contact mechanics, optical properties etc. Nowadays, a deep understanding of …
