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

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