Merchant's Theory

This document discusses equations that can relate measurable forces like normal force (N) and cutting force (F) to non-measurable forces during machining like shear force (Ps) and forces in the x and z directions (Px and Pz). These equations allow the determination of shear stress and coefficient of friction based on the calculated forces. The coefficient of friction is defined as the tangent of the mean angle of friction at the rake surface.

Equations can be derived to relate the forces that cannot be measured to the forces that can be measured:
F = N= Ps = Pn= PX cos + PZ sin Pz cos - PX sin PZ cos - PX sin PX cos + PZ sin

Based on these calculated force, shear stress and coefficient of friction can be determined
