Over the years the characterisation and evaluation of engineering surface topography has constituted a challenging metrological problem of great interest to industry. Emerging technological advances put new limits in manufacturing tolerances and a better understanding of the tribological phenomena is of great importance to functional surface topography characterisation.
In this respect, this special issue aims to present a collection of several examples using modern techniques of surface topography. The issue will be of interest to academics and researchers; materials, manufacturing and mechanical engineers; physicists in surface analysis; and professionals in surface engineering and related industries.
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Surface, micro and nanometrology
- Surface texture parameters - 2D and 3D
- Surface anisotropy
- Surface topography
- Surface measurements
- Instrumentation - novel instrumental developments
- Stylus profilometers
- Topological characterisation
- Optical methods
- Statistical tools
- Engineered surfaces
- Industrial applications
