The subject matter is a central issue in manufacturing  technology, since the quality and reliability of manufactured  components depend greatly upon the selection and qualities of the  appropriate materials as ascertained through measurement.\u003cbr\u003e  The book can in broad terms be split into two parts; the first deals  with the metrology of engineering surfaces and covers the important  issues relating to the measurement and characterization of surfaces in  both two and three dimensions. This covers topics such as filtering,  power spectral densities, autocorrelation functions and the use of  Fractals in topography. A significant proportion is dedicated to the  calibration of scanning probe microscopes using the latest techniques.  The remainder of the book deals with the properties of engineering  surfaces and covers a wide range of topics including hardness  (measurement and relevance), surface damage and the machining of  brittle surfaces, the characterization of automobile cylinder bores  using different techniques including artificial neural networks and  the design and use of polymer bearings in microelectromechanical  devices.\u003cbr\u003e  Edited by three practitioners with a wide knowledge of the subject and  the community, \u003cem\u003eMetrology and Properties of Engineering Surfaces\u003c\/em\u003e  brings together leading academics and practitioners in a comprehensive  and insightful treatment of the subject. The book is an essential  reference work both for researchers working and teaching in the  technology and for industrial users who need to be aware of current  developments of the technology and new areas of application.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-11-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781441947321\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441947321\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-3369-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 450\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341310259340,"sku":"9781441947321","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441947321.jpg?v=1755042094","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781441947321","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
