Modelling of plateau honed cylinder surface topography

Abstract

Three methods of simulation of two-process profiles were compared. An idea for the best method is to impose a random Gaussian profile on the valley profile. A special procedure was developed by the present authors to obtain desired values of skewness and correlation length. The extension of this method was used in order to model three-dimensional surface topography after two processes. The imposition method was used for plateau-honed cylinder surface topographies simulation. The mating accuracy of modelled and measured topographies was good, taking into account the complicated character of plateau-honed cylinder surfaces.
