Macrostructure
The gross structure of an object as made visible to the naked eye
Limpness
Losing stiffness or firmness, as of substance, fiber, structure, or bodily frame
Height sectional cut
Analysis of a 3D Topography Cutting the surface according to different heights into various planes
Hardness
Determination of the surface’s or coating’s resistance against an applied deforming force For this, a sharp or blunt stylus is usually facilitated, depending on the inspected material
Haptics
Form of interaction involving touch and the process of recognizing objects through touch
Hand abrasion
A special abrasion between the product surface and human hand which has chemical environment and mechanical rubbing motion is simulated by ABREX® (ABREX®-Abrasion)
Friction
The force that makes it difficult for things to move freely when they are touching each other
Frame
A structure supporting or containing something
Fracture
This type of deformation is also irreversible A break occurs after the material has reached the end of the elastic, and then plastic, deformation ranges At this point forces accumulate until they are sufficient to cause a fracture
Fingerprint affinity
The tendency that human fingerprint is imprinted onto the surface of the product
