Advances in Surface Topography Measurement and Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Analysis of surface topography is very important for assessment of the finished product, as well as for the manufacturing and operation processes, allowing for their control and possible correction.

From all around the world, there is plenty research on surface topography, created and modified in manufacturing and operation processes, and performed using advanced measurement systems providing a comprehensive approach to surface topography analysis.

Therefore, this Special Issue is an opportunity to collect information on advanced research realized by various research centres related to the measurement and analysis of surface topography in the scientific disciplines of material engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, biomedical engineering, and others.

This Special Issue titled “Advances in Surface Topography Measurement and Analysis” includes high-quality original scientific articles, review articles, short messages, and case studies related to the manufacturing processes of the parts, tribological processes (including friction, lubrication, and wear), surface metrology (including modeling and simulation), and surface topography characterizing (including optimization).

We are looking forward to receiving your submissions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
