Sphericity and Twist as Functional Parameters to Represent Surface Geometries
نویسنده
چکیده
Topographical measurements of surfaces yield a lot of data which are usually presented by tables of height coordinates or by contour maps. Here a method is described to characterize the surface geometry by just a few parameters which quantify the functional properties: sphericity, twist and waviness. Examples of applications are given from the field of surface plate measurement. Some measurement techniques based on electronic levels, autocollimators and laserinterferometers are briefly discussed. A resulting accuracy of 0.1 m on a one square meter surface is claimed. With the characteristic parameters, even small geometrical changes due to the environmental conditions temperature and moisture could be recorded and explained.

Evaluation of gravel sphericity and roundness based on surface-area measurement with a laser scanner
Sphericity and roundness have been employed in sedimentological and geomorphological studies to represent the gross shape of a gravel particle. The original complex definitions of gravel sphericity and roundness led to the use of visual charts or simplified parameters. Although the accurate derivation of sphericity requires the surface area of a gravel particle, manual measurement of the area i...

The dynamic interaction between subendocardial and subepicardial fibre helices in the left ventricle (LV) leads to a twisting deformation, which has an important role in LV function. This study sought to assess the influence of cardiac shape on LV twist in the normal and dilated human heart. The study comprised 45 dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients and 60 for age- and gender-matched healthy ...
