Parameters for characterizing the surface topography of engineering components – I. Sherrington and E.H. Smith

Topic:
Type:

Profile measurements of the surface topography of engineering components are often used in attempts to assess the functional suitability of surfaces. This paper reviews the definitions and properties of a large number of parameters which are used to characterize measurements of this type.
