I am designing a cam activated cutting tool used to cut a 300mm (~12") wide polymer sheet. I was planning to use the Brinell hardness number of a polymer (e.g. PVC) to evaluate the force required to do this, but I am finding it hard to find relevant data.

Does anybody know any formulae/methods for going about this?

Thank you
