New Approaches to Gear Design and Production

This is the third book in a series devoted to gear design and production. Comprising papers by scientists and gear experts from around the globe, it covers recent developments in practically all spheres of mechanical engineering related to gears and transmissions. It describes advanced approaches to research, design, testing and production of various kinds of gears for a vast range of applications, with a particular focuses on advanced computer-aided approaches for gear analysis, simulation and design, the application of new materials and tribological issues.
