"This reference/text demonstrates that the design and geometry of gears, and the measuring and processing of noise and vibration information are logical, and can be investigated without a detailed knowledge of mathematics or complex computations - focusing on problems of design, metrology, development, and troubleshooting when noise and vibration occur.". "Written primarily for industrial engineers who are either buying-in or designing, manufacturing, and inspecting gears and encounter noise trouble or must measure unknown quantities, Gear Noise and Vibration describes the overall path of vibration from mesh to final sound ... suggests ways for making improvements at the most economical stage ... and more."--BOOK JACKET.
