Theory and Practice of Gearing and Transmissions

This book is the fifth volume in the series devoted to gear engineering and computer-aided design, production, testing, and education. It comprises fundamental and applied research contributions by scientists and gear experts from all over the world and covers recent developments and historical achievements in various spheres of mechanical engineering related to different kinds of gears, transmissions, and drive systems. It gathers contributions describing the advanced approaches to research, design, testing, and production of practically all common and new kinds of gears for a vast number of advanced applications. Special attention is paid to tribology issues, computer-aided simulation of various gears, strength analysis, and aspects of advanced manufacturing of gears and gearboxes.
