The design of a microfabricated air electrode for liquid electrolyte fuel cells
… die to apply a three-dimensionally patterned macro-texture upon a microporous carbon matrix. The resulting dual porosity structure consists of an array of cylindrical holes that are formed from the die and micropores present in the carbon matrix. The holes are used for gas transport while the …

Road Surface Measurement and Multi-Scale Modeling of Rubber Road Contact and Adhesion
… the intricate mechanisms of friction. Pavement texture is a feature of the road surface that determines most tire-road interactions, and can be grouped into two classes: macro-texture, resulting mainly in the hysteretic component of friction, and micro-texture, resulting in adhesion. If both …

Non-contact Methods for Detecting Hot-mix Asphalt Nonuniformity
… inspections that identify non-uniform surface texture areas. An automatic process that reduces subjectivity would improve the quality-assurance procedures of HMA pavements. Virginia has undertaken a focused research effort to improve the uniformity of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. A method …

Evaluating the Sensitivity of the Auckland Pavement Polishing Device and Analysis of Aggregate Microtextural Wear
… is polished by vehicle tyres, reducing the micro-texture of aggregates and macro-texture of the road surface, resulting in a deterioration of skid resistance. Consequently, it is necessary to be able to accurately predict the skid resistance performance of aggregate as part of the design process. …
