The Science and Engineering of Cutting: The Mechanics and Processes of Separating, Scratching and Puncturing Biomaterials, Metals and Non-metals

The Science and Engineering of Cutting: The Mechanics and Processes of Separating, Scratching and Puncturing Biomaterials, Metals and Non-metals, Second Edition has been updated to include new developments in the mechanics of cutting, introducing topics such as friction modeling, oblique cutting of polymers, nano-sectioning, ultraprecision cutting, new methods for determining the fracture toughness of welds and glued joints, finite element simulations of cutting, and much more. The book also looks at new applications, such as improvements in the design of wood cutting machinery, body armor, and the employment of greater 'slice-push' methods in food-cutting machinery. Covers the processes and techniques of cutting in metals and non-metals Features new applications and case studies Looks afresh at nanomachining, finite element simulations, blunt tooling, and more Includes updated insight on the role of toughness in wear of solids, special measures required when cutting soft solids owing to their floppiness, the use of cutting to determine fracture toughness of very ductile polymers, and much more INDICE: 1.
