The Science and Engineering of Cutting

The Mechanics and Processes of Separating, Scratching and Puncturing Biomaterials, Metals and Non-metals

Beschreibung

The materials mechanics of the controlled separation of a body into two or more parts - cutting - using a blade or tool or other mechanical implement is a ubiquitous process in most engineering disciplines. This is the only book available devoted to the cutting of materials generally, the mechanics of which (toughness, fracture, deformation, plasticity, tearing, grating, chewing, etc.) have wide ranging implications for engineers, medics, manufacturers, and process engineers, making this text of particular interest to a wide range of engineers and specialists.

Autor

Dr. Atkins was Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Reading and Visiting Professor at Imperial College, London. He taught and researched in the general field of large deformation flow and fracture of all sorts of materials, including biomaterials. He was a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and of the Institute of Materials 3. He sat on various professional institution committees, editorial boards of journals and book series, and has been an advisor on NATO's Science for Peace Programme.

Rezensionen

"This book will be unique in really examining all forms of cutting and machining. Prof. Atkins writes in a discursive, very readable fashion bringing in examples from a wide range of sources. I am sure the book will be accessible to a wide range of readers from the first year undergraduate to the most experienced research worker." --Brian Cotterel, University of Sydney
