    Calculating Shear Plane Angle & Strain in Orthogonal Cutting Operation

    In an orthogonal cutting operation, the 0.250 in wide tool has a rake angle of 6 degrees. The lathe is set so the chip thickness before the cut is 0.011 in. After the cut,t he deformed chip thickness is measured to be 0.027 in. Calculate (a) the shear plane angle and (b) the shear strain for...

    QFT Cutting Rules: Improved Versions & Worked Examples

    I am wondering whether someone can suggest a good ref or two (preferrably with worked example) on how to use Cutkosky (or whatever it is called) cutting rules in QFT to help pick out the absorptive/Imaginary part of a 1- or 2-loops diagrams. I have already tried Peskin and Schroeder, which is...

    Examples of Cutting Edge Semiconductor Devices?

    Can anyone give me some examples of some of the most cutting-edge/futuristic/"we're not there yet" applications for semiconductors? You know... the "exciting" stuff. :biggrin: I'm doing an informal presentation for my solid state class, and wanted to get some ideas of what I should research...

    (simple Q) Cutting yourself with substances on your skin.

    I am looking for an explanation about a simple physics phenomen. When washing plates and ustensils, I would manipulate knives and, from times to times, would cut myself a bit. Does it matter if your hands are wet or dry and what does the water do on the surface of the skin that can influence...

    Cutting objects at the molecular level

    So, I've read that cutting is essentially where the edge of the knife (or whatever cutting instrument) applies enough force to overcome the intermolecular forces in the object. A more dense object will have greater molecular forces, hence more difficult to cut (in the conventional cutting sense...

    Forces at play during Cutting ?

    Forces at play during "Cutting"? I'm involved in a debate over the broadheads (arrowheads using multiple razor-sharp metal blades) for bow hunters. I need a little help in the physics dept. I'm arguing that the sharpness of a blade is less important than than the fact that there IS a...

    Cutting Your Finger: What Happens at the Atomic Level?

    We're all familiar to the fact that when you for example put two fingers together, they aren't really physically touching each other, it's the electromagnetic forces of the atoms from the different fingers resisting each other... which in turn translates to our nerves and finally our brain in...

    Slicing dice and cutting corners

    A dice has 6 sides. If you cut the corners of a dice you get 6 + 8 = 14 sides. If you cut again, the minimum number of sides you get is 6 + 8 + 12. If you cut n times, what is the minimum number of sides you get?

    What Happens to Bungee Jumpers if Cord is Cut at Apex?

    Had an interesting concept in physics class today. What would happen to a bungee jumper if right at the apex of his jump (when the resultant forces are zero) someone cut the cord? Would he go splat or just hit the ground without too much damage? For ease, let's say that at the apex he is a...

    What is the largest number of pieces you can get by cutting a pizza

    Hello, I am trying to follow an example/explanation, but with no luck. Here is the question: Let n be the number of cuts and let an be the maximum number of pieces. Now it is clear that a0 = 1 and a1 = 2. Since we want to maximize the number of pieces, we ensure that two cuts cross...
