Characterization of the Frictional Response of Squamata Shed Skin in Comparison to Human skin
H. A. Abdel-Aal, M. El Mansori
Deterministic surfaces are constructs of which profile, topography and textures are integral to the function of the system they enclose. They are designed to yield a predetermined…

Python Regius (Ball Python) shed skin: Biomimetic analogue for function-targeted design of tribo-surfaces
H. A. Abdel-Aal, M. El Mansori, I. C. Gebeshuber
A major concern in designing tribo-systems is to minimize friction, save energy, and to reduce wear. Satisfying these requirements depends on the integrity of the rubbing surface a…

Multi Scale Investigation of Surface Topography of Ball Python (Python Regius) Shed Skin in Comparison to Human skin
H. A. Abdel-Aal, M. El Mansori, S. Mezghani
Constructing a surface that is an integral part of the function of tribosystems (deterministic surface) is an intriguing goal. Inspirations for such surfaces come from studying nat…
