PhD in Tribology: Steel Surfaces with Enhanced Tactile Feel% L2 c3 G( _7 x8 H: P h/ E
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.
$ o# H) @# z( R+ o- @5 D+ ^. W, U( \# ^" H' d6 j, g( k
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.: V3 d8 ^. U# J) ?8 ^. X
: ^ B" Y9 H6 j- z* A+ wThe 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.
