Therefore, for the calculation of the cutting forces, the "stress characteristics method" is used (Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion).

Length of the line from the tip of the blade to the opposite side of the wedge and perpendicular to this side. Length of the line from point A to the intersection point of the previous line with side A-C. Distance from the acting point of the pore pressure force on side A-C to the intersection point of the previous line L 6 with side A-C. Shear (friction) force on the pseudo blade (front of the wedge).

The snow plough effect occurs when the sum of the 4 angles in the argument of the sine in the denominator of the generic cutting equation is equal to 180 degrees. The snow plough effect will occur when the angle between the cutting velocity and the blade edge is larger than 90 degrees.

If the forces N 2 and S 2 are combined to a resulting force K 2 and the adhesive force and the water under pressures are known, then the resulting force K 2 is the unknown force on the blade.
