The Handbook Of Surface Metrology
The Handbook of Surface Metrology
by David J. Whitehouse
Editorial Reviews
From Book News, Inc.
A comprehensive treatment of surface metrology, written around techniques and procedures in eight chapters: general philosophy of measurement; surface characterization--the nature of surfaces and the signals obtained them; processing; instrumentation; traceability--standardization--variability; surface metrology in manufacture; surface geometry and its importance in function; and summary and conclusions. A major feature is the highlighting of the link between the surface geometry, the manufacturing process, and the machine tool. For doctoral students in a wide range of engineering fields, as well as for development, design, quality, machine tool, and process engineers. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Measurement Science and Technology
"Given its importance to modern engineering, an authoritative and comprehensive guide to surface metrology has been long overdue: this book is well worth the wait. It will provide a central and essential reference for many years to come. ... This is an immense and rich mine of information, and both the scope and the inadequacies of current theories are fully explored." (M A Player (Aberdeen University), Measurement Science and Technology)
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
"... no laboratory where surface metrology is an issue can afford to be without a copy. ... The section on characterization and signal processing is the major portion of the book, and is likely to remain the definitive account of the topic for some time."
Industrial Lubrication and Technology
"The book is clearly written, well illustrated and comprehensive in its coverage. ... a very important addition to the engineering literature written by possibly the best qualified person in this country."
Aslib Book Guide
"Based on the personal knowledge and experience of the author who is a leading authority on the subject, this well presented and comprehensive reference work covers both theory and practice. ... The book contains a great deal of data, a useful glossary and is exceptionally well referenced."
Vacuum
"All you need to know about this subject is covered in depth: from the essential theory of surface metrology, the relevant national and international standards, to the design of precision instruments, and processing of data. ... There is no doubt that this reference work will be found essential for engineers involved in any aspect of development and production engineering concerned with metrology, tribology, instrumentation and associated data processing."
Professor Jack Dinsdale, NCR Industrial Professor, University of Dundee, Scotland
"It provides, for the first time I believe, a comprehensive analysis of modern techniques and instrumentation for surface metrology, including a description of the historical background to this important branch of engineering, in which the author himself played a major role. ... all this and much more has been described in an easily readable manner with plenty of sensible diagrams and a wealth of useful references."
