Beschreibung:
This text addreseses the topic of surface roughness, how to measure and describe it, and what practical problems it might cause. Updated to include advances in measurement and characterization, this second edition introduces modern instruments and includes sections on fractals and motif analysis.
Part 1 Measurement: stylus instruments; optical techniques; other measurement techniques. Part 2 Characterization: profile characterization; area characterization; rough surfaces as fractals. Part 3 Applications: contact mechanics; tribology; other applications.
