Optimised textured surfaces with application in piston ring/cylinder liner contact

The application of textured surfaces in tribology has recently gained a huge momentum. In this chapter, a systematic approach to investigate the maximum outcomes from employing such surfaces is introduced with an insight into their application in internal combustion engines. A combination of various affecting parameters on the tribological performance of such surfaces is studied and the optimum results are introduced. The effect of employing such optimised textures in enhancing the lubrication condition in piston ring/cylinder liner contact is also studied.
