The traditional method based on the plateau-valley threshold, according to the ISO 13565-3 standard, is not always sufficient, since the valley portion can include plateau roughness. Starting and finishing points of each plateau in the measured profiles should be determined. The procedure found in the technical literature depends on setting not only the plateau-valley threshold but also a lower threshold. This approach was a little modified for profiles that contain both random and deterministic topography components. A new procedure of determination of the lower threshold was proposed for stratified profiles containing two deterministic parts. The valleys can be characterized by their widths and the distance between them. In addition, a description of the material probability curve is proposed.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Distinguishing the Plateau and Valley Components of Profiles From Various Types of Two-Process Textures}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/106351/PDF/10.1515mms-2016-0046%20paper%2009.pdf}, doi={10.1515/mms-2016-0046}, keywords={surface topography, two-process texture, material ratio}, }
