Theory of Gearing

Abstract

This book explains the most general problems of the theory of gearing, but it represents only a part of Dr. Litvin's accomplishments. His research contributions have improved (1) almost all types of gearing including spur, helical, hypoid, bevel, worm, and noncircular gears; (2) tools for gear manufacture; and (3) computer programs for simulation of meshing and contact. His theorems, methods for gear synthesis, and methods for gear generation represent a very significant contribution to the science of gearing.
