DESCRIPTION:
Stephen P. Radzevich has spent over 35 years developing software, hardware, and other processes for gear design and optimization. Dr. He has authored and coauthored over 30 monographs, handbooks, and textbooks, including Kinematic Geometry of Surface Machining (CRC Press, 2007), Gear Cutting Tools: Fundamentals of Design and Computation (CRC Press, 2010), and Dudley’s Handbook of Practical Gear Design and
The text is clear and rich in details … well done; starting with a ‘Synthesis’ makes sense and offers the chance to introduce the topic smoothly.Hellmuth Stachel,Vienna University of Technology, Austria… This book is starting to touch on areas that need more discussion such as the tooth curvature and how the force vectors are calculated and used in continued analysis. I like how it starts at a lower level then builds into the real geometry of the tooth surface and how this can effect the gear meshing.Todd Smith, Global Director Gear Engineering & Manufacturing, Dana Holding, Maumee, Ohio, USA
This is an invaluable resource for engineers and researchers who work in gear design, gear production, and the application of gears as well as for students in mechanical and manufacturing engineering. More than 500 figures clearly illustrate the principles. The book addresses how to minimize vibration and noise in gears, discusses aspects of implementing the theory of gearing, and analyzes principal features of power transmission and the loading of gear teeth. The proposed theory is based on a key postulate: all the design parameters for an optimal gear pair for a particular application can be derived from (a) a given configuration of the rotation vectors of the driving and driven shafts and (b) the power transmitted by the gear pair. This allows engineers to synthesize the desired gear pairs with only the following input information: The rotation and torque on the driving shaftThe configuration of the driven shaft in relation to the driving shaftThe desired rotation and torque of the driven shaft Beginning with the fundamentals, the book reconsiders the basic theory of kinematics and geometry of gears to provide a sound basis for the evaluation and development of future designs.
