Optimierung der Tragfähigkeit von Zahnwellenverbindungen
In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird gezeigt, dass die Tragfähigkeit evolventisch basierter Zahnwellenverbindungen auf geradezu revolutionäre Art und Weise gesteigert werden kann, wenn für ihre Realisierung nicht das System zur Bezugsprofilgenerierung der [DIN 5480], sondern das in dieser Dissertation neu entwickelte, hoch innovative System zur Profilgenerierung zugrunde gelegt wird. Mit ihm werd…

Vibrations and Stability of Complex Beam Systems
This book reports on solved problems concerning vibrations and stability of complex beam systems. The complexity of a system is considered from two points of view: the complexity originating from the nature of the structure, in the case of two or more elastically connected beams; and the complexity derived from the dynamic behavior of the system, in the case of a damaged single beam, resulting …
