{"product_id":"9783662507681","title":"Characterisation of Areal Surface Texture","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe function of a component part can be profoundly affected by its surface topography. There are many examples in nature of surfaces that have a well-controlled topography to affect their function. Examples include the hydrophobic effect of the lotus leaf, the reduction of fluid drag due to the riblet structure of shark skin, the directional adhesion of the gecko foot and the angular sensitivity of the multi-faceted fly eye. Surface structuring is also being used extensively in modern manufacturing. In this way many properties can be altered, for example optical, tribological, biological and fluidic. Previously, single line (profile) measurements were adequate to control manufacture of surfaces, but as the need to control the functionality of surfaces increases, there is a growing need for three-dimensional (areal) measurement and characterisation techniques. For this reason there has been considerable research, development and standardisation of areal techniques. This book will present the areal framework that is being adopted by the international community. Whereas previous books have concentrated on the measurement aspects, this book  concentrates on the characterisation techniques, i.e. how to interpret the measurement data to give the appropriate (functional) information for a given task. The first part of the book presents the characterisation methods and the second part case studies that highlight the use of areal methods in a broad range of subject areas - from automobile manufacture to archaeology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to Surface Topography\u003cbr\u003eThe Areal Field Parameters\u003cbr\u003eThe Areal Feature Parameters\u003cbr\u003eAreal Filtering Methods\u003cbr\u003eAreal Form Removal\u003cbr\u003eAreal Fractal Methods\u003cbr\u003eChoosing the Appropriate Parameter\u003cbr\u003eCharacterisation of Individual Areal Features\u003cbr\u003eMulti-Scale Signature of Surface Topography\u003cbr\u003eCorrelation of Areal Surface Texture Parameters to Solar Cell Efficiency\u003cbr\u003eCharacterisation of Cylinder Liner Honing Textures for Production Control\u003cbr\u003eCharacterisation of the Mechanical Bond Strength for Copper on Glass Plating Applications\u003cbr\u003eInspection of Laser Structured Cams and Conrods\u003cbr\u003eRoad Surfaces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year: \u003c\/strong\u003e2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eSpringer Berlin Heidelberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFormat: P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWeight (Gram): 5562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Leach","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41269644198066,"sku":"9783662507681","price":171.59,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5382\/4178\/products\/3662507684.01_SCLZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1636071636","url":"https:\/\/readabook.store\/products\/9783662507681","provider":"READABOOK BY ALKEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
