PhD in Tribology: Steel Surfaces with Enhanced Tactile Feel
1 ~7 L& l/ |" Y9 g9 y. FHave you ever thought of creating your own surface out of stainless steel? We are looking for pro-active researchers who have that dream and willing to devoting themselves into creating new sheet surface with predefined feel like soft, smooth or silky. 9 n+ f$ i6 q3 i( o
* m z7 D2 S8 v4 ?6 YThe relative importance of the surface roughness of steel sheet is well recognized by the leading steel manufacturers. It is well known that surface texturing can be used as a means for improving the performance of components exposed to friction and wear. A surface finish with a soft silky feel has a high potential to increase sales within the domestic and automotive appliances domains. While current knowledge on the relation between contact mechanics, tribology and human tactile perception is relatively limited.

7 K2 f/ Z! l5 nThe objective of this PhD project is to produce steel sheet with pre-defined human perception of the surface roughness in an economic, clean and safe way. You are expected to do a combination of advanced predictive simulations and experimental work on skin – roughness interactions, aimed at understanding friction at the interface. A translation to touch is done with panel testing. v4 ?3 h8 G+ k6 s4 P) d& c
