Abstract

The production of flakes of a brittle solid by pressure or impact is studied with the help of a simplified mathematical model.

Résumé

On discute, à l'aide d'un modèle mathematique simplifié, la production d'éclats d'un solide fragile par pression ou choc.

Zusammenfassung

Die durch Druck oder Schlag erfolgte Herstellung von Spänen eines spröden Festkörpers wird mittels eines vereinfachten mathematischen Modells untersucht.
