Friction is the main phenomenon that has a huge influence on the flow behavior of deformed
material in sheet metal forming operations. Sheet metal forming methods are one of the most …

This survey overviews the functional performance of manufactured components produced by
typical finishing machining operations in terms of their topographical characteristics. Surface …

This paper gives an overview of the progress which has been made in surface metrology
over the past ten years. It updates the surface classification system, and discusses the …

The effect of surface textures on the friction of a poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) elastomer
has been investigated at both macro and microscales using a nanoindentation-scratching …

In this experimental study periodic line-like patterns with different periodicities (5, 9 and 18
µm) were fabricated by laser-interference patterning on stainless steel samples (AISI-304) …

Fretting occurs when two loaded contacting surfaces are exposed to oscillatory relative
movement of small amplitude. Depending on conditions such as surface finishing, coefficient …

Recently, the tribological characteristics of rubber elastomers have attracted widespread
attention of researchers due to its destructive character and its high frequency of occurrence …

Surface texture of harder mating surfaces plays an important role during sliding against
softer materials and hence the importance of characterizing the surfaces in terms of …

Surface topography induced by precision machining is critical for component performance.
Four representative surface topographies of turned and ground surfaces were prepared at …

A two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to investigate
the effects of groove textures on fully lubricated sliding with cavitation. The effects of …
