Determining the geometry of noncircular gears for given transmission function

Uwe Bäsel

A pair of noncircular gears can be used to generate a strictly increasing continuous function $\psi (\phi )$ whose derivative ${\psi }^{\prime }(\phi )=\mathrm{d}\psi (\phi )/\mathrm{d}\phi >0$ is $2\pi /n$-periodic, wh…
