Call for papers: "Advances in Metrology of Surface Topography"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Surface Science and Engineering.

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

Important Dates
Submission of manuscripts: 30 June, 2017
