Gear Geometry and Applied Theory / Edition 2

by Faydor L. Litvin, Alfonso Fuentes

Overview

This revised, expanded edition covers the theory, design, geometry, and manufacture of all types of gears and gear drives. An invaluable reference for designers, theoreticians, students, and manufacturers, the second edition includes advances in gear theory, gear manufacturing, and computer simulation. Among the new topics are: new geometry for gears and pumps; new design approaches for planetary gear trains and bevel gear drives; an enhanced approach for stress analysis; new methods of grinding and gear shaving; and new theory on the simulation and its application. First Edition published by Pearson Education Hb (1994): 0-132-11095-4
