You are performing a machining operation that approximates orthogonal cutting. Given that the chip thickness prior to chip formation is 0.5 inches and the chip thickness after separation is 1.125 inches, calculate the shear plane angle and shear strain. Use a rake angle of 10 degrees. 21. Suppose in the prior problem that the cutting force and thrust force were measured as 1559 N and 1271 N, respectively. The width of the cut is 3.0mm. Using this new information, calculate the shear strength of the material.
