This comprehensive fourth edition of Stephen P. Radzevich's acclaimed work presents a thorough exploration of gear theory, offering both theoretical foundations and practical applications for engineers and researchers working with gear design and manufacturing.

The fourth edition has been meticulously revised with the entire manuscript thoroughly updated to enhance clarity and precision. Many illustrations have been completely replaced with superior versions, and numerous new illustrations have been added throughout the text. The equivalent pulley-and-belt transmission concept has been significantly developed and refined, and the author has incorporated an important new result in envelope theory—a contribution valuable not only to gear theory but also to pure mathematics in the field of differential geometry of surfaces. Additionally, this edition includes the latest advances in gear theory from the beginning of the twenty-first century, ensuring readers have access to cutting-edge developments in the field.

Essential reading for mechanical engineers, automotive engineers, manufacturing engineers, researchers, and graduate students seeking to master the science of modern gear design.

Stephen p. Radzevich is a professor of mechanical engineering, and a professor of manufacturing engineering. He received his m.sc. In 1976, ph.d. In 1982, and dr.(eng)sc. In 1991, all in mechanical engineering. Dr. Radzevich has extensive industrial experience in gear design and gear manufacture. He has developed numerous software packages dealing with computer-aided design (cad) and computer-aided machining (cam) of precise gear finishing for a variety of industrial sponsors. His main research interest is the field of kinematics and geometry of gearing, particularly with a focus on precision gear design, high-power-density gear trains, torque share in split-power-transmission systems (spts), design of special purpose gear cutting/finishing tools, and design and machine (finish) of precision gears for low-noise and noiseless transmissions of cars, light trucks, and so forth.

Dr. Radzevich has spent about 50+ years developing software, hardware and other processes for gear design and optimization. Besides his work for industry, he trains engineering students at universities and gear engineers in companies.

He has authored and coauthored over 50 monographs, handbooks, and textbooks. Among his works published by CRC Press are "Kinematic Geometry of Surface Machining," "Gear Cutting Tools: Fundamentals of Design and Computation," "Dudley's Handbook of Practical Gear Design and Manufacture," "High-Conformal Gearing: Kinematics and Geometry," and "Theory of Gearing: Kinematics, Geometry, and Synthesis." He has also published over 700 scientific papers and holds more than 260 patents worldwide.
