Abstract: A random-process surface model of elastically yielding asperities with a gaussian height distribution is proposed to represent the deflection of a machine tool joint. A passband of surface ...

Abstract: Surface and profile measurements and their resulting statistics, based on samples of up to half a million heights, are compared and their interrelationship examined for several common engineering ...

Abstract: It is known that the surface of articular cartilage is rough and it has been suggested that this is likely to affect the lubrication of human joints. This paper describes the direct measurement ...
