Books by Ken J Stout

Based on research funded by the European Commission, this book provides a basis for a unified approach to three-dimensional surface finish assessment. It covers a range of issues related to 3-D micro-topography, with a focus on standardisation, measurement, characterisation and interpretation.

Explains the basic measurement techniques, describes the commercially instruments, this fully illustrated text provides an overview of the perception of 3-D topography analysis in the academic world and industry, and the commonly used 3-D parameters and plots for the characterizing and visualizing 3-D surface topography.
