Is fracture a bigger problem for smaller animals? Force and fracture scaling for a simple model of cutting, puncture and crushing

Many of the materials that are challenging for large animals to cut or puncture are also cut and punctured by much smaller organisms that are limited to much smaller forces. Small organisms can overcome their force limitations by using sharper tools, but one drawback may be an increased susceptibili...
