1) Demonstrates the rigorous scientific theory behind optimal gear design, manufacture, and performance 2) Details cutting edge research on gear design since the previous edition, enabling engineers to cost effectively make efficient and sustainable gears 3) Discusses approximate gearing, along with algorithms for gear design and performance 4) Aids the reader in designing noiseless gears which feature the highest possible power density at the lowest possible manufacturing costs
This book brings together papers from all spheres of mechanical engineering related to gears and transmissions, from fundamentals to advanced applications, from academic results in numerical and experimental research, to new approaches to gear design and aspects of their optimization synthesis and to the latest developments in manufacturing. Furthermore, this volume honours the work of Faydor L. Litvin on the 100th anniversary of this birth. He is acknowledged as the founder of the modern theory of gearing. An exhaustive list of his contributions and achievements and a biography are included.
Building on the first edition published in 1995 this new edition of Kinematic Geometry of Gearing has been extensively revised and updated with new and original material. This includes the methodology for general tooth forms, radius of torsure’, cylinder of osculation, and cylindroid of torsure; the author has also completely reworked the ‘3 laws of gearing’, the first law re-written to better parallel the existing ‘Law of Gearing” as pioneered by Leonard Euler, expanded from Euler’s original law to encompass non-circular gears and hypoid gears, the 2nd law of gearing describing a unique relation between gear sizes, and the 3rd law completely reworked from its original form to un...
The new edition of High-Conformal Gearing continues to address the kinematics and the geometry of conformal (Novikov) gearing and high-conformal gearing. The book deals with gears that feature convex-to-concave contact of the tooth flanks of a gear and a mating pinion. Gears of this type are commonly referred to as conformal gearings. Novikov gearing is the most widely known example of conformal gearing. The helical gearing by Wildhaber, Bramley-Moore (otherwise known as the Vivkers, Bostock, and Bramley gearing, or just V.B.B.-gearing), are well-known designs of gearing that are loosely referred to as conformal gearing. The principal differences between conformal gearing as well as high-con...
This book presents recent developments in the theory of gearing and the modifications in gear geometry necessary to improve the conditions of meshing. Highlighted are low-noise gear drives that have a stable contact during meshing and a predesigned parabolic transmission error function that can handle misalignment during operation without sacrificing the low-noise aspects of operation. This book also provides a comprehensive history of the develoment of the theory of gearing through biographies of major contributors to this field. The author's unique historical perspective was achieved by assiduous research into the lives of courageous, talented, and creative men who made significant contributions to the field of gearing.
Some 90 papers cover gears, gearboxes, and geared systems; mechanisms, couplings, and linkages; mechanical transmissions including continuous variable transmission, belt drives, chain drives, and other transmissions; tribology, mechanical systems such as robots, hydraulic systems, and machinery; virtual reality; Internet-based technology; system integration; artificial intelligence; and advanced computer- aided design, manufacturing, engineering. Each has been reviewed by at least three peers. Among the topics are the terminology and classification of facial toothed joints and gearings, a web-based agile system for designing rolling bearings, the control of vibration characteristics of a metal pushing belt-planetary gear continuously variable transmission, optimizing pumping units performances with fiberglass sucker rod strings, and research on architecture for autonomous interface agents.
