document: Re-examining the machining frictional boundary conditions using fractals Presents experimental evidence for the existence of non-Euclidean contact geometry at the tool-chip interface in the machining of aluminium alloy , which challenges conventional assumptions . The geometry of contact at the tool rake face is modelled using fractals and a dimension is computed for its description . The variation in the fractal dimension with the cutting speed is explored
