Gear Accuracy by Stephen P Radzevich

Gear Accuracy by Stephen P Radzevich

This book provides a comprehensive profile the range of developments in gear science and gear engineering mainly those related to noise emission and vibration generation.  The problem of noise emission and vibration generation is a challenging one.  This scientific and engineering problem requires efforts of gear experts of different areas, and it got no satisfactory solution yet. Gear experts of different countries (USA, Israel, Poland, and Ukraine) have contributed to this volume.  The latest accomplishments in scientific theory of gearing, gear design, production, inspection, and application are covered by this volume.  The readers’ attention is focused mainly on the achievements in the field that lead to a significant reduction of gear noise excitation and vibration generation in gearing of all designs, namely, in parallel-axes gearing, in intersected-axes gearing, and in crossed-axes gearing.  The concept of geometrically-accurate gearing (parallel-axes gearing, intersected-axes gearing, and crossed-axes gearing) is lays in the foundation of the undertaken research on gear noise emission and vibration generation.

To the best possible extent, the kinematical and geometrical components of the problem under consideration are outlined at the beginning of this volume of the book when the accuracy of gears are discussed.  The illustration of the various aspects of the problem is provided in the rest sections of the book volume.  In particular, the readers’ attention is focused here also on the key problems, the poor knowledge of the scientific theory of gearing may lead to.  This latter issue arouses even in leading gear manufacturing companies.

The bottom line is as follows: In order to succeed in solving the noise excitation, and the vibration generation problem in gearing, high level of proficiency in the scientific theory of gearing is a must, as this theory provides the user with an in-depth understanding of meshing of the gear teeth, as well as with powerful tools to solve gear problems of this sort in cases when something goes wrong.

Dr. Stephen P. Radzevich is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and a Professor of Manufacturing Engineering. He received the M.Sc. (1976), the Ph.D. (1982), and the Dr.(Eng)Sc. (1991) - all in mechanical engineering. Dr. Radzevich has extensive industrial experience in gear design and manufacture. He has developed numerous software packages dealing with CAD and CAM of precise gear finishing for a variety of industrial sponsors. His main research interest is Kinematic Geometry of Surface Generation, particularly with the focus on (a) precision gear design, (b) high power density gear trains, (c) torque share in multi-flow gear trains, (d) design of special purpose gear cutting/finishing tools, (e) design and machining (finishing) of precision gears for low-noise/noiseless transmissions of cars, light trucks etc. Dr. Radzevich has spent about 40 years developing software, hardware and other processes for gear design an optimization. Besides his work for industry, he trains engineering students at universities and gear engineers in companies. He authored and co-authored over 30 monographs, handbooks, and textbooks. The monographs entitled Generation of Surfaces (2001), Kinematic Geometry of Surface Machining (CRC Press, 2008), CAD/CAM of Sculptured Surfaces on Multi-Axis NC Machine: The DG/K-Based Approach (M&C Publishers, 2008), Gear Cutting Tools: Fundamentals of Design and Computation (CRC Press, 2010, 2^nd edition 2017), Precision Gear Shaving (Nova Science Publishers, 2010), Dudley's Handbook of Practical Gear Design and Manufacture (CRC Press, 2012, 2^nd edition 2016), Theory of Gearing: Kinematics, Geometry, and Synthesis (CRC Press, 2012, 2^nd edition 2018), Geometry of Surfaces: A Practical Guide for Mechanical Engineers (2013) are among the recently published volumes. He also authored and co-authored about 350 scientific papers and holds over 250 patents on inventions in the field, both, USA patents and International.
