The contact.engineering platform enables users to create a digital twin of a surface and thus to help predict, for example, how quickly it wears out, how well it conducts heat, or how well it adheres ...

Surface roughness refers to the fine texture of a part’s surface. Every manufactured part’s surface has three main components—form, waviness, and roughness—that influence how well a part performs. The ...

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 ...

The most important factor to consider is the material being machined. The material should have tool wear and sufficient ductility in order to enable clean cutting with reduced surface damage.

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 ...

Surface roughness influences many mechanical properties, including friction and adhesion, surface reactivity, semiconductor substrate quality, and surface interaction with electromagnetic waves, ...

Scientists from the University of Freiburg, Germany, and the University of Pittsburgh have developed a software platform that facilitates and standardizes the analysis of surfaces. The ...
