About the book

The geometric structure of the surface of machine elements is on the one hand the result of the technological process, and on the other hand - a factor conditioning the proper operation of the finished product. That is why its measurement and evaluation is so important in modern technology. The handbook in an accessible and exhaustive way discusses:

• Ways of separating individual unevenness of the geometric structure of the surface,
• Modern methods of measuring and evaluating the outlines of roundness determined for the entire analyzed surface, profiles of cylindricity, straightness and flatness as well as closed outlines of shape,
• Ways to assess surface roughness and waviness,
• Comprehensive profilometric measurements of unfinished outlines of shape,
• Measuring instruments and their statistical comparative studies, with a strong emphasis on issues related to the computerization of these devices.

There are available thematically similar publications on the market, but their authors focus mainly on surface roughness and waviness. In this book, however, a comprehensive approach to the measurement of the entire geometric surface structure was presented. The book is addressed to students of faculties of mechanical education: mechanics and mechanical engineering, automation and robotics, material engineering and transport. Probably will be interested in research workers and academic teachers conducting research in disciplines related to the above-mentioned directions. It will also be useful for constructors and technologists, especially for employees of control and measurement services of workplaces manufacturing machines and mechanical devices.
