Overview
Credit: 3 PDH
Length: 48 pages
Gears, shafts, and bearings are the backbone of equipment used in the field of Mechanical Power Transmission. They are the primary components in such things as transmissions, drive trains, and gear boxes. Transmissions and drive trains deliver power from the engine to the wheels of a variety of vehicles ranging from automobiles to earth moving equipment. Gear boxes of a variety of sizes and shapes power the many machines and equipment found in our factories and in our homes.
This course takes the student through the various steps needed to gain valuable insight into the subject matter. The steps include design, types, material/manufacture, load and stress analysis, sample problems, and sketches of actual industrial applications with expert analysis. It is written in a comprehensive style with as many images as there are pages of text. Hopefully, the information will aid in encouraging individuals to strive to make innovative improvements in making this planet a better place to live.
It is written for Mechanical Engineers, Automotive Engineers, Plant Engineers, Civil Engineers, Environmental Engineers, and any other discipline with an interest in Mechanical Power Transmission.
