Table of Contents:
  • Controlled and uncontrolled separation of parts: cutting, scraping and spreading
  • Fracture mechanics and friction: muscles, impact and new surfaces
  • Simple orthogonal cutting of floppy, brittle and ductile materials
  • Types of chip: load fluctuations, scaling and deformation transitions
  • Slice-push ration: oblique cutting and curved blades, scissors, guillotining and drilling
  • Cutting with more than one edge: scratching, grinding, abrasive wear, engraving and sculpting
  • Sawing, chisels and files
  • Punching holes: piercing and perforating, arms and armour
  • Sharpness and bluntness: absolute or relative? Tool materials and tool wear
  • Unrestrained and restrained workpieces: dynamic cutting
  • Cutting in biology, palaeontology and medicine
  • Food and food-cutting devices and wire cutting
  • Teeth as cutting tools
  • Burrowing in soils, digging and ploughing
  • Unintentional and accidental cutting: supermarket plastic bags, falling objects, ships hitting rocks and aeroplanes hitting buildings.
