Machine components are usually subjected to cyclic loads, which may lead to failure, even when the component is subjected to elastic deformations only. Manufacturing processes are capable of affecting roughness and inducing ...

Surface integrity refers to a set of characteristics of the surface and subsurface layer that have great influence on the functional performance of mechanical components under conditions of wear, corrosion and fatigue, and ...

The surface topography often is an important quality criterion for the manufacturing of milled workpieces as it often defines their functional behaviour. In machining both, the kinematics of the process and the stochastic ...
