Editor
Stephen P. Radzevich is a professor of mechanical engineering and manufacturing
engineering. He earned an MSc in 1976, a PhD in 1982, and a Dr(Eng)Sc. in 1991, all in
mechanical engineering. Dr. Radzevich has extensive industrial experience in gear design
and manufacture. He has developed numerous software packages dealing with computer-
aided design (CAD) and computer-aided machining (CAM) of precise gear finishing for
a variety of industrial sponsors. His main research interest is the Kinematic Geometry of
Part Surface Generation, particularly with a focus on precision gear design, high-power-
density gear trains, torque share in multiflow gear trains, design of special purpose gear
cutting/finishing tools, and design and machine (finish) of precision gears for low-noise
and noiseless transmissions of cars, light trucks, and so on.
Dr. Radzevich has spent over 40 years developing software, hardware, and other processes
for gear design and optimization. Besides his work for the industry, he trains engineering
students at universities and gear engineers in companies. He has authored and coauthored
about 40 monographs, handbooks, and textbooks. The monographs Generation of Surfaces
(RASTAN, 2001), Kinematic Geometry of Surface Machining (CRC Press, 2007, 2nd Edition
2014), CAD/CAM of Sculptured Surfaces on Multi-Axis NC Machine: The DG/K-Based Approach
(M&C Publishers, 2008), Gear Cutting Tools: Fundamentals of Design and Computation (CRC
Press, 2010), Precision Gear Shaving (Nova Science Publishers, 2010), Dudley’s Handbook of
Practical Gear Design and Manufacture (CRC Press, 2012), and Geometry of Surfaces: A Practical
Guide for Mechanical Engineers (Wiley, 2013) are among his recently published books. He
has also written or coauthored over 300 scientific papers and holds over 250 patents on
inventions in the field (USA, Japan, Russia, Europe, Canada, Soviet Union, South Korea,
Mexico, and others).
