This book presents the latest accomplishments in Novikov/conformal gearing as well as high-conformal gearing.  It is focused primarily on strength calculation of gear teeth and the manufacturing of gears for Novikov/conformal and high-conformal gearing along with a brief discussion of achievements in the modern theory of gearing. The modern theory of gearing is the foundation of all optimal designs of gears, gear-sets, and transmissions of all known designs, as well as, of all those to be developed in the future. As even a small improvement in efficiency on a single gear can represent a significant cost saving, given the millions of gears used in industry every year, this volume provides the design and manufacturing engineer in invaluable resource.

He then transitions from differential geometry of surfaces to engineering geometry of surfaces, and examines how part surfaces are either machined themselves, or are produced by tools with surfaces that are precisely machined.

This book presents approaches for optimal machining of part surfaces on machine tools, especially of sculptured part surfaces on a multi-axis numerical control (NC) machine. The approach is based on fundamental results of the research obtained in two main areas: in differential geometry (DG) of surfaces, and in kinematics (K) of rigid body in three-dimensional Euclidian space E3. Commonly referred to as DG/K-based method of part surface generation, this method is an extremely powerful tool for solving a plurality of problems in mechanical/manufacturing engineering.

Presents the DG/K-based method of surface generation, a novel and practical mathematical method for designing gear cutting tools with optimal parameters. This book proposes a scientific classification for the various kinds of the gear machining meshes, discussing optimal designs of gear cutting tools.
