Although several studies deal with various types of surface textures and their usefulness, the commercial viability of the surface texture has hardly been empirically examined. A pioneering study ...

Cutoff filter is capable of measuring the wavelength at which the surface structure is differentiated between roughness and waviness data. For precise measurements, it is very important to choose the ...

On a non-textured (or smooth) surface, the equilibrium contact angle θ for any contacting liquid is given by Young’s relation 10 as: The second important parameter for characterizing surface ...

1. Cilllia software leverages the micron resolution of an Autodesk 3D-printer to generate hairy and texturized surfaces. MIT’s Tangible Media Group presents intuitive software that enables 3D-printing ...

If you want to know how to make a sneaker with better traction in the rain, just ask a snake. That’s the theory driving the research of Hisham Abdel-Aal, PhD, an associate teaching professor from ...

Being able to quantify a surface finish is both a complex and necessary task. While surface topography relates to a three-dimensional property, the most accepted surface measurement parameter is ...

Three new surface finishes for as-cast formed concrete are defined in the new ACI 301-10 Specifications for Structural Concrete, which supersedes ACI 301-05. Rough-Form and Smooth-Form As-Cast ...

With improvements in technology enhancing people’s lives, electronic products requirements have become greater in terms of being lighter, thinner, smaller, higher performance, and having more ...
