A book devoted to joints and driveshafts, covering both fundamental principles and practical application engineering procedures. Particular emphasis has been placed on making the basic elements accessible to practising engineers. At the fundamental level, the kinematic aspects and strength parameters of all types of joints are considered analytically. The kinematics of joints and the demonstration of constant velocity characteristics are explored with the aid of vectors and matrices. Weber's analogy is used to enable the Hertzian theory of deformation at the contact surface to be generally understood, and to form the basis of straightforward procedures to assess the strength of joints. From these basics principles, the torque-carrying capacity and durability of Hooke's, ball and pode joints are calculated: examples are given for joints following the Weiss, Rzeppa and Orain principles. All types of construction and control systems are considered for both fixed and pluinging joints, and connecting elements are described. Rules for the design and layout of drive-shafts are given and application engineering procedures are derived.

L'autore:

A transmission engineer, Count Hans Christopher Seherr-Thoss had the inclination to write Universal Joints and Driveshafts in 1980, when he realized the need for an effective textbook on machine elements. But only in 1988 did he actually form the writing team and find the publisher Springer, which released the English-language first edition in 1992. Count Seherr-Thoss, whose long writing career began more than 50 years earlier in newspapers, has authored works on technical subjects since 1948 and published his first Springer book, on gears, in 1965. He resides near Munich, Germany, and maintains an archive, founded in 1936 in Breslau, which specializes in technological, economical and related biographical works.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Major progress has been made in the field of driveshafts since the authors presented their first edition of this unique reference work. Correspondingly, major revisions have been done for second edition of the German Textbook (Springer 2003), which is present here in the English translation.

The presentation was adjusted, novel improvements of manufacturing and design are described, and modern aspects of production are incorporated. The design and application of Hooke’s joint driveshafts is discussed as well as constant velocity joints for the construction of agricultural engines, road and rail vehicles.

This work can be used as a textbook as well as a reference for practitioners, scientists, and students dealing with drive technology.
