7 w3 \; a: Y% _' | H& l- n5 K8 OHave 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.

" D( C! z0 P. p6 A7 mThe 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.* G* ?' @- ], m0 y$ [8 [( P4 c

The 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.- \4 C9 ?5 k5 c. u! f7 a7 M1 W% L
