The book is written by a group of authors united by application of the same methodology and experience of cooperation for a long time. The contents of the book cover:
Methods of generation of noncircular gears by enveloping methods that are similar to those applied for generation of circular gears. However, the motions of the generating tools (rack cutter, shaper, or hob) are nonlinear and must be computerized.
Design of noncircular gears to be applied for variation of output speed and generation of functions. Such a design requires determination of mating centrodes that roll over each other.
Detailed procedure of design of elliptical gears with spur and helical teeth, oval gears, lobes, eccentric involute gears, and twisted gears (applied for extension of the interval of function generation).
Tandem design of planar linkages coupled with noncircular gears for a broader variation range of the output speed.
The authors hope that this book will allow extension of application and design of noncircular gear drives in mechanisms and industry.
