Abstract
Many types of engineered surfaces have been observed to exhibit a frac tal geometry. In some cases, modeling the generation of the surfaces p redicts this and provides correlation between the dimension and histor y and properties of the surfaces. The complex process of machining pre cision surfaces does not yet lend itself to such detailed modeling, bu t observations of the correlations between production methods and surf ace dimension, independent of material type and hardness, offer encour agement.
