Wavelengths of surface features
Tue, 2011-03-01 10:59 - r.nikhil
I am working on the surface features of steel . I understand that surface features are broken down into various wavelengths and represented as Wa to We (0.1mm to 30mm wavelengths). Could some guide me to a reference which shows how to go about this process from the raw surface profile data ? Possibly, it involves Fourier Transforms, but I need a basic reference which shows how it is done .
Thanks!

Wavelengths and sufrface features...
I have worked on the subject when i was doing my PhD. You may find these references to be of some relevance to your interest:
