Radius to the tip of the blade,

Diameter = 57.114mm
= 57.114mm/2 = 28.557mm

Radius to the base of the blade,

Diameter = 54.574 mm + 0.859mm x 2
= 56.292mm
= 56.292mm/2 = 28.146mm

Contact Mechanics
Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more
points. A central distinction in contact mechanics is between stresses acting perpendicular to the
contacting bodies' surfaces (known as the normal direction) and frictional stresses acting
tangentially between the surfaces.

When two cylinders are pressed against each other (Figure 2) with a collinear pair
of forces F, a rectangular area of contact, of width b and length l, is formed.
Theoretically, this contact surface is supposed to be a line.

unit length applied on a line perpendicular to the force.
Surface pressure is denoted by π:

π= F/l
Contact between two cylinders with parallel axes

The force is linearly proportional to the indentation depth d

R1 is the radius of the blade and R2 is the radius of the anvil
E1 and E2 are the moduli of elasticity of the blade and the anvil
respectively
Poisson’s ratio
Poisson’s Ratio
Poisson's ratio is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain in the direction of stretching
force. Tensile deformation is considered positive and compressive deformation is considered negative. The definition of
Poisson's ratio contains a minus sign so that normal materials have a positive ratio. Poisson's ratio, also called Poisson ratio or
the Poisson coefficient, or coefficient de Poisson, is usually represented as a lower case Greek nu, n.
