Product Description
Details
Demonstrating the rigorous scientific theory behind optimal gear design, manufacture, and performance, a key focus of the new edition is on aiding engineers in designing low noise transmissions in smaller sizes, improving fuel consumption and reducing emissions. Chapters included will discuss key features of Split- Power-Transmission-Systems (SPTS) with equal (almost equal) power share, and Uniform Rotary Motion. Entirely new chapters for the third edition include: Parallel-Axes involute gearing of specific design and gear, and Novikov/Conformal and High-Conformal gearing.
The book will be of interest to engineers and researchers in the gearing industry. It will also have relevance to those working in tribology, metallurgy, and materials processing, alongside engineers working in precision manufacturing.

| About the Author | Dr. Stephen P. Radzevich is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and a Professor of Manufacturing Engineering. He received the M.Sc. (1976), the Ph.D. (1982), and the Dr.(Eng)Sc. (1991) – all in mechanical engineering. Dr. Radzevich has extensive industrial experience in gear design and manufacture. He has developed numerous software packages dealing with CAD and CAM of precise gear finishing for a variety of industrial sponsors. His main research interest is Kinematic Geometry of Surface Generation, particularly with the focus on (a) precision gear design, (b) high power density gear trains, (c) torque share in multi-flow gear trains, (d) design of special-purpose gear cutting/finishing tools, (e) design and machining (finishing) of precision gears for low-noise/noiseless transmissions of cars, light trucks, etc. Dr. Radzevich has spent about 40 years developing software, hardware, and other processes for gear design and optimization. Besides his work for industry, he trains engineering students at universities and gear engineers in companies. |
