  2. Surface roughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness

    The basic GD&T symbol for surface roughness. Surface roughness can be regarded as the quality of a surface of not being smooth and it is hence linked to human perception of the surface texture. From a mathematical perspective it is related to the spatial variability structure of surfaces, and inherently it is a multiscale property.

  3. Surface finish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finish

    Surface finish, also known as surface texture or surface topography, is the nature of a surface as defined by the three characteristics of lay, surface roughness, and waviness. [1] It comprises the small, local deviations of a surface from the perfectly flat ideal (a true plane ).

  4. Elements of art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art

    Elements of art are stylistic features that are included within an art piece to help the artist communicate. [1] The seven most common elements include line, shape, texture, form, space, color and value, with the additions of mark making, and materiality.

  5. Waviness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waviness

    Waviness measurements are not as common as roughness measurement however there are important applications. For example, waviness in bearing balls and bearing races is one of the reasons for vibrations and noise in ball bearings. Other application examples are waviness in flat milled sealing surfaces, "orange peel" on painted surfaces, and ...

  6. Texture (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(visual_arts)

    In the visual arts, texture refers to the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It is an element found in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs, and it is characterized by its visual and physical properties. The use of texture, in conjunction with other design elements, can convey a wide range of messages and evoke various ...

  7. Artistic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_symbol

    In works of art, literature, and narrative, a symbol is a concrete element like an object, character, image, situation, or action that suggests or hints at abstract, deeper, or non-literal meanings or ideas. [1] [2] The use of symbols artistically is symbolism. In literature, such as novels, plays, and poems, symbolism goes beyond just the ...

  8. Surface imperfections (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_imperfections_(optics)

    Roughness, texture or optical finish is a defect that originates from the element's manufacturing. Texture is a periodical phenomenon with a high spatial frequency (or in other words, in small dimensions), which affects the entire surface and causes the scattering of incident light. [7] A higher value of roughness means a rougher surface. [7]
