This revised, expanded edition covers the theory, design, geometry, and manufacture of all types of gears and gear drives. An invaluable reference for designers, theoreticians, students, and manufacturers, the second edition includes advances in gear theory, gear manufacturing, and computer simulation. Among the new topics are: new geometry for gears and pumps; new design approaches for planetary gear trains and bevel gear drives; an enhanced approach for stress analysis; new methods of grinding and gear shaving; and new theory on the simulation and its application. First Edition published by Pearson Education Hb (1994): 0-132-11095-4

Gear Geometry and AppliedTheory,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gear Geometry and Applied Theory (Hardcover)
I'm looking for long time to have such a book in my technical libray. Now I have it. It is an interesting book and I am veryy hapy with it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book regarding gear theory,
This review is from: Gear Geometry and Applied Theory (Hardcover)
I work as a gear engineer for a big heavy truck company and have learned a whole lot from this book...and still learning. I find it by far the most valuable book for engineers who want to understand the fundamentals of gearing and write their own computer codes to generate gear geometries for visualization or FEM-analysis.
Great book Litvin and Fuentes! Regards, IB
5.0 out of 5 stars
Good book,

This review is from: Gear Geometry and Applied Theory (Hardcover)
This is a book that explain gears using their geometric information. Central point is mathematical equation of gears and using this approach any point at gear calculation is explained. It is not good for obtain a magic number or fast result but very goo to understood gear behaviour and calculation.
