Where will cracks develop in a surface’s texture? In a lot of literature researchers often focus on the deepest valley, using roughness parameters such as Rv and Sv. But cracks don’t always form at the deepest valleys. A better way to predict cracking is to focus on the sharpness of features rather than the depth. In this tutorial we’ll show you a better method, and better parameters, for estimating sharpness and predicting crack development. Learn more!
