Wettability versus roughness of engineering surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model combining Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter theories with simple 2D roughness profile analysis was proposed to investigate the roughness influence on contact angle measurements and applied to real homogeneous anisotropic surfaces.

The effect of machined topography and integrity on fatigue life
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of machining surface roughness on fatigue performance was investigated for a variety of workpiece materials and post-machining surface treatments, such as shot peening.

Tribology of Abrasive Machining Processes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw upon the science of tribology to understand, predict and improve abrasive machining processes, and demonstrate how tribology can be applied as a tool to improve abrasives.

Surface metrics: an alternative to patch metrics for the quantification of landscape structure
TL;DR: It is argued that the surface properties identified are nearly universal and have potential to offer new insights into landscape pattern–process relationships.
