Laser surface texturing (LST) is widely explored for modifying the topography of various materials. In this study, a detailed investigation laser textured surfaces produced on austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304) was carried out. Three different textures (square, parallel, perpendicular) were by Ti sapphire laser. The processed characterized morphology, phase structure, microhardness, roughnes...

This paper discusses the making of three-dimensional geospatial data infrastructure (3D GDI) for Malaysia. The main component of the initiative is 3D city models with CityGML as the standard for data modelling, transfer and exchange. Various aspects of 3D city modelling especially on the construction of the models and texturing of facades via dynamic pulse function are described. The generated ...

The development of a preferred crystallographic orientation in the plane of growth, an in-plane texture, is addressed in a model that incorporates anisotropic growth rates of a material and self-shadowing. Most crystalline materials exhibit fast growth along certain crystallographic directions and slow growth along others. This crystallographic growth anisotropy, which may be due to differences...
