Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies reported in the literature, surface
micro-texturing to control friction and wear in lubricated tribo-contacts is still in the trial-and …

Texturing of the surface is a technique to form the surfaces of the desired pattern. It is
extensively used to alter the mechanical and tribological properties, such as increased …

Surface texturing has been frequently used for tribological purposes in the last three
decades due to its great potential to reduce friction and wear. Although biological systems …

Surface texture is regarded as a promising solution for enhancing the tribological features of
