Most-cited papers in Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties

Quantitative characterization of surface topography using spectral analysis

Tevis D. B. Jacobs, Till Junge, Lars Pastewka · 27 Jan 2017

Roughness determines many functional properties of surfaces, such as adhesion, friction, and (thermal and electrical) contact conductance. Recent analytical models and simulations enable quantitative prediction of these properties from knowledge of the power spectral density (PSD) of the surface topography. The utility of the PSD is that it contains statistical information that is unbiased by…

Surface texture measurement for additive manufacturing

Andrew Triantaphyllou, Claudiu Giusca, Gavin MacAulay et al. · 5 May 2015

The surface texture of additively manufactured metallic surfaces made by powder bed methods is affected by a number of factors, including the powder’s particle size distribution, the effect of the heat source, the thickness of the printed layers, the angle of the surface relative to the horizontal build bed and the effect of any post…

Tribological performance of surface texturing in mechanical applications—a review

Ping Lu, R.J.K. Wood · 9 Sep 2020

Abstract Surface textures have been of great interest within the tribology community with nearly 1500 papers published on this topic in the past two decades. With the pursuit of low emissions and environmental sustainability, the application of surface texturing to mechanical systems to lower friction and control wear is attracting increasing attention. There is no…

The influence of heat accumulation on the surface roughness in powder-bed additive manufacturing

Mahdi Jamshidinia, Radovan Kovacevic · 3 Feb 2015

The influence of heat accumulation on surface roughness during powder-bed additive manufacturing was investigated. A series of Ti-6Al-4V thin plates were produced by using an identical heat input by electron beam melting® (EBM). Spacing distances of 5 mm, 10 mm, and 20 mm were used. The surface roughness of as-built thin plates was measured using…

Dental microwear textures: reconstructing diets of fossil mammals

Larisa R.G. DeSantis · 22 Mar 2016

Dietary information of fossil mammals can be revealed via the analysis of tooth morphology, tooth wear, tooth geochemistry, and the microscopic wear patterns on tooth surfaces resulting from food processing. Although dental microwear has long been used by anthropologists and paleontologists to clarify diets in a diversity of mammals, until recently these methods focused on…
