PhD in Tribology: Steel Surfaces with Enhanced Tactile Feel
- l6 F% f- ]/ Z7 ?Have 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. " U# t) j8 R' a# z; E# T/ M6 z* w
9 m+ w! W# ~7 y2 \The 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.

/ a% U; w" o$ G/ m5 i8 N; [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.* y* w$ B* j$ b5 v. e
