  2. Crystallographic texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_texture

    Pole figures displaying crystallographic texture of gamma-TiAl in an alpha2-gamma alloy, as measured by high energy X-rays. [1] In materials science and related fields, crystallographic texture is the distribution of crystallographic orientations of a polycrystalline sample. A sample in which these orientations are fully random or is amorphous ...

  3. Texture (visual arts) - Wikipedia

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

    The bumpy texture of tactile paving.. The physical texture, also known as actual texture or tactile texture, refers to the patterns of variations found on a solid surface. . These can encompass a wide range of materials, including but not limited to fur, canvas, wood grain, sand, leather, satin, eggshell, matte, or smooth surfaces like metal or g

  4. 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 ).

  5. Stamped concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamped_concrete

    The secondary color is used to produce texture and show additional building materials (e.g. grout) in the stamped concrete. The accent color is produced by applying color release to the concrete. Color release has two purposes - 1) It is a pigment used to color the concrete and 2) It is a non-adhesive used to prevent the concrete stamps from ...

  6. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    A diamond plate texture rendered close-up using physically based rendering principles. Microfacet abrasions cover the material, giving it a rough, realistic look even though the material is a metal. Specular highlights are high and realistically modeled at the appropriate edge of the tread using a normal map.

  7. Texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture

    Texture (cosmology), a theoretical topological defect in the structure of spacetime; Crystallographic texture, distribution of crystallographic orientations in a polycrystalline material; Texture (geology), a physical appearance or character of a rock; Texture mapping, a bitmap image applied to a surface in computer graphics

  8. Materials science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_science

    Materials science is a highly active area of research. Together with materials science departments, physics, chemistry, and many engineering departments are involved in materials research. Materials research covers a broad range of topics; the following non-exhaustive list highlights a few important research areas.

  9. Texture (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    In geology, texture or rock microstructure [1] refers to the relationship between the materials of which a rock is composed. [2] The broadest textural classes are crystalline (in which the components are intergrown and interlocking crystals), fragmental (in which there is an accumulation of fragments by some physical process), aphanitic (in which crystals are not visible to the unaided eye ...
