A Comparison of Multiscale Surface Curvature Characterization Methods for Tribological Surfaces

Surface curvature affects adhesion forces, deformations of surfaces in contact, leakage of mechanical seals, friction, wear, paintability, and electrical conductivity. However, potential benefits of surface curvature have not yet been fully utilized. One problem is the lack of comparison data helpin...
