Stephen P. Radzevich, Principal Gear Engineer, USA

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Geometry of Surfaces: A Practical Guide for Mechanical Engineers is a comprehensive guide to applied geometry of surfaces with focus on practical applications in various areas of mechanical engineering. It is divided into three sections, covering Part Surfaces, Geometry of Contact of Part Surfaces and Mapping of the Contacting Part Surfaces. It focuses on the geometry of real part surfaces, and explores the difference between classical differential geometry of surfaces and engineering geometry of surfaces.

Geometry of Surfaces: A Practical Guide for Mechanical Engineers combines differential geometry and gearing theory and presents new developments in the elementary theory of enveloping surfaces. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book also provides the reader with the tools for solving complex engineering problems in the field of mechanical engineering.

Key features:

• Presents in-depth coverage of the analysis and synthesis of the geometry of part surfaces
• Contains numerous practical examples of application of the theories proposed
• Considers new developments in the elementary theory of enveloping surfaces
• Proposes a novel approach for generating of conjugate part surfaces
• Provides a precise analytical description of the geometry of contact between two smooth regular part surfaces

Geometry of Surfaces: A Practical Guide for Mechanical Engineers is an invaluable reference for researchers and practitioners in mechanical, automotive and aerospace engineering industries, and will also be ideal source of information for CAD developers and graduate students.
