Gear Engineering

Fülszöveg

This book, a comprehensive work on gear engineering and design, and written by the foremost authority on the subject, will appeal particularly to members of all professional engineering institutions and societies. It is the culmination of over forty years' experience of gear development. A discussion of basic principles remains, in condensed form, but a particularly important feature in this work is that the basic design principles, once presented are extended into a number of calculation sequences, which can be used by draughtsmen and designers without the need of re-read the book-work. It is a highly worthy successor to H.E. Merritt's two earlier classics, "Gears" and "Gear Trains".

This new book by H.E. Merritt now supersedes his two previous classics on the subject, "Gears" and "Gear Trains" It is the culmination of over forty years' experience of gear development. A discussion of basic principles remains, in condensed form, but a particularly important feature in this work is that the basic design principles, once presented, are extended into a number of calculation sequences, which can be used by draughtsmen and designers without the need to reread the bookwork. The author has kept in mind all the time the fact that most gears are designed by engineers and draughtsmen who are prevented by other preoccupations from studying the subject in all its intricacies. The book has been planned to offer positive answers, with quick and easy calculations, to the kind of gear problems which most frequently arise. It includes new computerbased tables and charts, as well as "calculation sequences" which reduce calculation to simple routines. All the analytical treatments, design procedures, and such matters as allowable loading, efficiency and lubrication have been completely re-cast in the light of the author's intensified research over the past ten years. The book also includes new treatments of fixed-axis and planetary gear trains.

Till
Henry E. Merritt, M.B.E., has been an independent Consultant on vehicle design and power transmission for the past sixteen years, before which he was at the Rootes Group as Chief Administrative Engineer, on passenger car programmes and development. During the early years of the last war he was responsible for the design of the Churchill tank, and "designed the Merritt-Brown tank transmission fitted to most British tanks.
When the war was over, Merritt went to the Nuffield Organisation for four years as Agricultural Manager, where he developed the Nuffield tractor. He left to become Chief Research Officer at the British Transport Commission. Besides being the author of "Gears", "Gear Trains" and "Gear Engineering" he has written innumerable papers, some of which have won medals; he gained the James Clayton Prize, Institute of Mechanical Engineers, in 1964 Vissza
