“…A regular surface texture may be generated by several methods (Etsion, 2004;Greco et al, 2009;Nakano et al, 2007;Schreck and Zum Gahr, 2005;Stepien, 2011): laser texturing, precise diamond turning, rolling, embossing, etching, vibrorolling, abrasive jet machining, micro electrical discharge machining, grinding. When periodically grooved surfaces are placed in contact, periodically arranged intercontact gaps occur at the interface.…”
