I ordered the international version on Valore Books to save on those crazy textbook prices. It's 407 pages, with 31 pages of cited references. Here's the chapter titles.
1 Controlled and uncontrolled separation of Parts: cutting, scraping, and spreading
2 Fracture mechanics and friction: muscles, impact, and new surfaces
3 Simple orthogonal cutting of floppy, brittle, and ductile materials
4 Types of chip: load fluctuations, scaling, and deformation transitions
5 Slice-push ratio: oblique cutting and curved blades, scissors, guillotining and drilling
6 Cutting with more than one edge: scratching, grinding, abrasive wear, engraving and sculpting
7 Sawing, chisels and files
8 Punching holes: piercing and perforating, arms and armor
9 Sharpness and bluntness: absolute or relative? Tool materials and tool wear
10 Unrestrained and restrained workpieces: dynamic cutting
11 Cutting in biology, paleontology and medicine
12 Food and food-cutting devices and wire cutting
13 Teeth as cutting tools
14 Burrowing in soils, digging and ploughing
15 Unintentional and accidental cutting: supermarket plastic bags, flling objects, ships hitting rocks and aeroplanes hitting buildings
As you can see, it covers quite a few topics on cutting/matter separation and shaping. Should be useful in interpreting results of tests and sharpening.
