3D Parametric and Nonparametric Description of Surface Topography in Manufacturing Processes

<p>In present book an analysis of the literature pertaining to parametric and nonparametric</p><p>descriptions of surface topography in basics manufacturing processes (e.g.</p><p>turning milling grinding) has been performed. The book focuses on the improvement of</p><p>machining processes with particular attention to the functional properties of surfaces</p><p>and also in the control of process parameters by a selected group of parameters. Here</p><p>the specific areas of interest are: surface topography analysis; advanced manufacturing</p><p>metrology; surface metrology; measurement science; and measurement systems. The</p><p>proposed approach of the description of surface for the functional properties of surfaces</p><p>leads to the control of the whole manufacturing process reduction of production cost by</p><p>eliminating manufacturing defects and energy consumption as well as the</p><p>improvements of surface quality. The study presented in the book is a compendium of</p><p>knowledge regarding surface metrology and emerging aim in a novel scientific approach.</p>
