The main topics of the book are the theory of gearing, computerized design, generation, simulation of meshing, and stress analysis of gear drives. The first edition of the book is already considered the leading reference in the field by the engineering community, but this edition complements the first with new chapters and thoughtful revision of the previous version, which will make it very useful for the design and manufacture of gear drives.
New ideas of gear design presented in the book include:
Development of gear drives with improved bearing contact, reduced sensitivity to misalignment, and reduced transmission errors and vibration. These goals are achieved by (i) simultaneous application of local synthesis of gear drives and computerized simulation of meshing and contact and (ii) application of a predesigned parabolic function of transmission errors that is able to absorb linear functions of transmission errors caused by misalignments.
Development of enhanced finite element analysis of stresses with the following features: (i) the contacting model of teeth is developed automatically, on the basis of analytical representation of equations of tooth surfaces; (ii) the formation of bearing contact is investigated for several pairs of teeth in order to detect and avoid areas of severe contact stresses.
Improved conditions of load distribution in planetary gear trains by modification of the applied geometry and regulation of installment of planet gears on the carrier.
