Abstract

A method of computer modeling of a surface relief is proposed, and its efficiency and high accuracy are proven. The method is based on the mathematical model of surface microrelief, using titanium alloy Ti6Al4V subjected to processing with femtosecond pulses as an example. When modeling the examples of microrelief, changes in the shape of segments-cycles of the studied surface processes, which correspond to separate morphological formations, were taken into account. The proposed algorithms were realized in the form of a computer simulation program, which provides for a more accurate description of the geometry of the microrelief segments. It was proven that the new method significantly increases the efficiency of the analysis procedure and processing of signals that characterize self-organized relief formations.
