Gears are the most frequently used mechanical component in many industrial applications. This book investigates various aspects of the use of abrasive flow finishing (AFF) to impart a quality finish on spur and bevel gears. It gives an overview of the AFF process and gears, a review of relevant past work, and considers the development of a machine for the two-way AFF process and fixtures for gear finishing. The book also provides a description of the parametric optimization of the AFF process and the laser texturing of gears to enhance the performance of the process. Readers of this text will realize that the AFF is a productive, flexible, economical, and sustainable process for gear finishing that can reduce the noise and vibration of gears through a reduction in microgeometry, functional testing parameters, and surface roughness.

This book is a guide to endocrine surgery for practising and trainee endocrinologists. Divided into 45 chapters, the text begins with an overview of applied embryology, physiology, and surgical anatomy of the endocrine glands. The next section explains thyroid function tests and their interpretation. Each of the following chapters covers the surgical management of a different thyroid-related disorder. The final sections discuss allied topics including endocrine radiology, pathology, the role of nuclear medicine in endocrine surgery, and radiotherapy. Each chapter concludes with clinical pearls to assist learning. With an internationally recognised editor and author team, the comprehensive text is highly illustrated with photographs, radiographic images, flow charts, and diagrams.
