Basic Concept in MechanicsThe branch of scientific analysis which deals with motions , time , and forces is called mechanics and is made up of two parts , statics and dynamics , Statics deals with the analysis of stationary systems , i.e. , those in which time is not a factor , and dynamics deals with systems which change with time .对运动、时间和作用力做出科学分析的分支称为力学。
它由静力学和动力学两部分组成。
静力学对静止系统进行分析，即在其中不考虑时间这个因素，动力学对随时间而变化的系统进行分析。
When a number of bodies are connected together to form a group or system , the forces of action and reaction between any two of the connecting bodies are called constraint forces . These forces constrain the bodies to behave in a specific manner . Forces external to this system of bodies are called applied forces .当一些物体连接在一起形成一个组合体或者系统时，任何两个相连接的物体之间的作用力和反作用力被称为约束力。
这些力约束着各个物体，使其处于特定的状态。
从外部施加到这个物体的系统的力被称为外力。

Spur GearsGears , defined as toothed members transmitting rotary motion from one shaft to another , are among the oldest devices and inventions of man . In about 2600 B.C. , the Chinese are known to have used a chariot incorporating a complex series of gears . Aristotle , in the fourth century B.C. , wrote of gears as if they were commonplace . In the fifteenth century A.D. , Leonardo da Vinci designed a multitude of devices incorporating many kinds of gears .齿轮，在最古老的设备和发明人中，被定义为通过轮齿将旋转运动从一根轴传递到另一根轴，大约在公元前2600年，中国人就知道用战车组成一系列复杂的齿轮系。
西元前四世纪，亚里士多德记述了齿轮就好像是他们司空见惯的一样。
在十五世纪，达芬奇设计了大量的包含各种各样齿轮的设备。
Among the various means of mechanical power transmission (including primarily gears , belts , and chains ) , gears are generally the most rugged and durable . Their power transmission efficiency is as high as 98 percent . On the other hand , gears are usually more costly than chains and belts . As would be expected , gear manufacturing costs increase sharply with increased precision -- as required for the combination of high speeds and heavy loads , and for low noise levels . ( Standard tolerances for various degrees of manufacturing precision have been established by the AGMA , American Gear Manufacturers Association. )在众多的机械传动方式中（包括齿轮传动，带传动，链传动），一般来说，齿轮是最经久耐用的，它的能量传递效率高达98%。

1.With low-power machinery or vehicles the operator can usually apply sufficient force through a simple mechanical linkage from the pedle or handle to the stationary part of the brake. In many cases, however, this force must be multiplied by using an elaborate braking system.（P5）用低能机器或传力工具，操作者通过向踏板或把手的一个简单机械连接构件作用足够的力量到车闸固定的部分。
大多数情况，然而，用一个详细（复杂）的车闸系统使这个力量成倍增加。
2. The fundamental principle involved is the use of compressed air acting through a piston in a cylinder to set block brakes on the wheels. The action is simultaneous on the wheels of all the cars in the train. The compressed air is carried through a strong hose from car to car with couplings between cars; its release to all the separate block brake units, at the same time, is controlled by the engineer. (Braking Systems)（P5）相关的基本原理是使用压缩气体，通过气缸内的活塞将闸块压在车轮起作用。

目录1·2·7·8·11·12单元第一单元? Types of Materials材料的类型Materials may be grouped in several ways. Scientists often classify materials by their state: solid, liquid, or gas. They also separate them into organic (once living) and inorganic (never living) materials.材料可以按多种方法分类。
科学家常根据状态将材料分为：固体、液体或气体。
他们也把材料分为有机材料(曾经有生命的)和无机材料(从未有生命的)。
For industrial purposes, materials are divided into engineering materials or nonengineering materials. Engineering materials are those used in manufacture and become parts of products.就工业效用而言，材料被分为工程材料和非工程材料。
那些用于加工制造并成为产品组成部分的就是工程材料。
Nonengineering materials are the chemicals, fuels, lubricants, and other materials used in the manufacturing process, which do not become part of the product.非工程材料则是化学品、燃料、润滑剂以及其它用于加工制造过程但不成为产品组成部分的材料。
Engineering materials may be further subdivided into: ①Metal ②Ceramics ③Composite ④Polymers, etc.工程材料还能进一步细分为：①金属材料②陶瓷材料③复合材料④聚合材料，等等。
Gear Materials (Reading Material)齿轮材料（阅读材料）Gears are manufactured from a wide variety of materials, both metallic as well as nonmetallic.齿轮由多种种类的材料制造，包括金属材料和非金属材料。

2 Lubrication润滑Although one of the main purposes of lubrication is to reduce friction, any substance –liquid, solid, or gaseous—capable of controlling friction and wear between sliding surfaces(滑动表面) can be classed as (定义为)a lubricant.Varieties of lubricationUnlubricated(无润滑) sliding. Metals that have been carefully treated to remove all foreign materials(异物) seize and weld to one another when slid together. In the absence of(如果没有) such a high degree of cleanliness, adsorbed(吸附的) gases, water vapor, oxides(氧化物), and contaminants (杂质)reduce friction and the tendency to seize but usually result in severe wear, this is called “unlubricated” or dry sliding (干滑动).Fluid-film(流体膜) lubrication.Interposing a fluid film that completely separates the sliding surfaces results in fluid-film lubrication. The fluid may be introduced intentionally as the oil in the main bearing(主轴承) of an automobile, or unintentionally, as in the case of water between a smooth rubber tire(橡胶轮胎) and a wet pavement(路面). Although the fluid is usually a liquid such as oil, water, and a wide range of other materials, it may also be a gas. The gas most commonly employed is air.To keep the parts separated, it is necessary that the pressure within the lubrication film balance(与…保持平衡) the load on the sliding surfaces. If the lubricating film’s pressure is supplied by an external source, the system is said to be lubricated hydro-statically(静压地). If the pressure between the surfaces is generated as a result of the shape and motion of the surfaces themselves,however, the system is hydro-dynamically(动压地) lubricated. This second type of lubrication depends upon the viscous properties(粘度特性) of the lubricant.Boundary lubrication. A condition that lies between unlubricated sliding and fluid –film lubrication is referred to as(称作) boundary lubrication, also defined as that condition of lubrication in which the friction between surfaces is determined by the properties of the surfaces and properties of the lubricant other than viscosity(粘度). Boundary lubrication encompasses(包含) a significant portion of lubrication phenomena(润滑现象) and commonly occurs during the starting and stopping of machines.Solid lubrication. Solids such as graphite(石墨) and molybdenum disulfide(二硫化钼) are widely used when normal lubricants do not possess sufficient resistance to load or temperature extremes. But lubricants need not take only such familiar forms as fats, powders, and gases; even some metals commonly serve as sliding surfaces in some sophisticated(精密的) machines.Functions of lubricantsAlthough a lubricant primarily controls frictions and wear, it can and ordinarily does perform numerous other functions, which vary with the application and usually are interrelated.Friction control. The amount and character of the lubricant made available to sliding surfaces have a profound effect upon the friction that is encountered. For example, disregarding such related factors as heat and wear but considering friction alone between two oil-film lubricated surfaces, the friction can be 200 times less than that between the same surfaces with no lubricant. Under fluid-film conditions, friction is directly proportional to(与…成正比) the viscosity of the fluid. Some lubricant, such as petroleum derivatives(衍生物), is available in a great range of viscosities(具有较大的粘度范围) and thus can be satisfy a broad spectrum of functional requirements. Under boundary lubrication conditions, the effect of viscosity on friction becomes less significant than the chemical nature(化学性质) of the lubricant.Wear control. Wear occurs on lubricated surfaces by abrasion(磨蚀), corrosion, and solid –to-solid contact. Proper lubricants will help combat(克服) each type. They reduce abrasive and solid-to-solid contact wear by providing a film that increases the distance between the sliding surfaces, thereby lessening the damage by abrasive contaminants and surfaces asperities(粗糙不平).Temperature control.Lubricants assist in controlling temperature by reducing friction and carrying off(带走) the heat that is generated. Effectiveness(效果) depends upon the amount of lubricant supplied, the ambient temperature, and the provision for external cooling. To a lesser extent(在小范围内), the type of lubricant also affects surface temperature.Corrosion control.The role of lubricants in controlling corrosion of the surfaces themselves is twofold(双重的). When machinery is idle(闲置), the lubricants act as a preservative(防锈剂). When machinery is in use, the lubricant controls corrosion by coating lubricated parts with a protective film that may contain additives(添加剂) to neutralize(中和) corrosive materials. The ability of a lubricant to control corrosion is directly related to the thickness of the lubricant film remaining on the metal surfaces and the chemical composition(化学成分)of the lubricant.Other functionsLubricants are frequently used for purposes other than the reduction of friction. Some of these applications are described below.Power transmission. Lubricants are widely employed as hydraulic fluid(液压流体) in fluid transmission devices.Insulation.In specialized applications such as transformers and switchgear, lubricants with high dielectric constants(介电常数) act as electrical insulators. For maximum insulating properties, a lubricant must be kept free of(不能含有) contaminants and water.Shock dampening.Lubricants act as shock-dampening fluids in energy-transferring devices such as shock absorbers(减震器) and around machine parts such as gears that are subjected to high intermittent(间歇性的) loads.Sealing. Lubricating grease(润滑脂、黄油) frequently performs the special function of forming a seal(密封圈) to retain lubricants or to exclude contaminants.。
Gear Materials (Reading Material)齿轮材料（阅读材料）Gears are manufactured from a wide variety of materials, both metallic as well as nonmetallic.齿轮由多种种类的材料制造，包括金属材料和非金属材料。
As is the case with all materials used in design, the material chosen for a particular gear should be the cheapest available that will ensure satisfactory performance.在设计中可以使用多种材料的情况下，对于特定齿轮，应当做到选用满足使用要求下的最便宜的材料。
Before a choice is made, the designer must decide which of several criteria is most important to the problem at hand.在作出选择前，设计师必须决定在众多设计准则中哪个是当前最重要的。
If high strength is the prime consideration, a steel should usually be chosen rather than cast iron.如果高强度是第一要考虑的因素，通常就选择钢材而不选择铸铁。
If wear resistance is the most important consideration, a can be made, for problems involving noise reduction, nonmetallic. Materials perform better than metallic ones.如果耐磨性是最重要的因素，可以选用非金属材料要比金属材料更好，同时也可以解决降低噪声的问题。
However, as is true in most design problems, the final choice of a material is usually a compromise.然而，在大部分实际设计问题中，对材料的最终决定往往是一个折衷的方案。
In other words, the material chosen will conform reasonably well to all the requirements mentioned previously, although it will not necessarily be the best in any one area.换句话说，材料的选择要考虑到合理的达到所有的预定要求，尽管这样就不能在其中任何一方面达到最好。
To conclude this discussion we will consider the characteristics of various metallic and nonmetallic gear materials according to their general classifications.为了总结这次讨论，我们将按照通常的分类来考虑多种金属和非金属齿轮材料所具有的特性。
Cast Irons铸铁Cast iron is one of the most commonly used gear materials.铸铁是最常用的齿轮材料之一。
Its low cost, ease of casting, good machinability, high wear resistance, and good noise abatement property make it a logical choice.它具有低成本，铸造性好，机械加工性能好，高耐磨性，以及高减噪性的特点，这些特点使铸铁成为一个合适的选择对象。
The primary disadvantage of cast iron as a gear material is its low tensile strength, which makes the gear tooth weak in bending and necessitates rather large teeth.铸铁主要的缺点是，作为一种齿轮材料，铸铁的抗拉强度很低，这使得轮齿的抗弯强度很弱而且不能造出很大的轮齿。
Another type of cast iron is nodular iron, which is made of cast iron to which a material such as magnesium or cerium has been added.另一种类型的铸铁是球墨铸铁，是在普通铸铁中加入了镁或者铈制成的。
The result of this alloying is a material having a much higher tensile strength while retaining the good wear and machining characteristics of ordinary cast iron.这种合金的特点是既具有高的抗拉强度，又保持了普通铸铁的高耐磨性和优秀的机械加工性能。
V ery often the combination of cast iron gear and a steel pinion will give a well balanced design with regard to cost,strength, and wear.通常，铸铁大齿轮和钢制小齿轮的组合能够在成本、强度和耐磨性之间达到较好的平衡。
问题补充：Steel gear are usually made of pain carbon steels or alloy steels.钢制齿轮通常由碳钢或者合金钢制造。
They have the advantage, over cast iron, of higher strength without undue increase in cost.它们具有比铸铁更高的强度，同时又没有是成本过高的增加。
However, they usually require heat treatment to produce a surface hard enough to give satisfactory resistance to wear.然而，它们通常需要经过热处理，以生成表面的硬化层来达到足够的耐磨性。
Unfortunately, the heat treatment process usually produces distortion of the gear, with the result that gear load is not uniformly distributed across the gear tooth face.不幸的是，热处理过程通常会使齿轮发生扭曲和形变，这样齿轮上的载荷就不能均匀的分布到轮齿的表面。
Since alloy steels are subject to less distortion due to heat treatment than carbon steels, they are often chosen in preference to the carbon steels.合金钢具有变形量小的特点，因此比碳钢更适合热处理，它们通常比碳钢使用的更多。
Although it is not the purpose here to discuss the various heat treatment methods and their effect on the properties of materials so treated, the designer should be aware ofpossible problems arising from the use of heat treated materials.尽管这里讨论的目的不是热处理的方法和这些方法在材料上产生的不同影响，设计师仍然应当认识到对不用热处理材料的选择可能带来的各种问题。
Gears are often through-hardened by water or oil quenching in order to increase their resistance to wear.齿轮通常都要经过在油介质或者水介质中的整体淬火，以达到增加耐磨性的目的。
If a low degree of hardness is satisfactory, through-hardening is probably the most desirable heat treatment process to be used because of its inexpensiveness.如果对强度的要求较低，整体淬火可能是最适当的热处理方法，因为它的花费不高。
Case hardening is used for gear that require a hard surface and for which good accuracy is not necessary.局部淬火使用在那些要求表面硬度较高的齿轮上，而且很难精确的达到。
The case hardening process results in gears that have much harder surfaces than cores.局部淬火处理的齿轮具有比心部组织硬度高的表面硬度。
The advantage of case hardening is that, while the surface becomes hard and wear resistant, the toughness associated with the core remains.局部淬火的优点是，表面具有高硬度和高耐磨性的同时，心部组织仍然保留着较高的韧性。
Carburizing, cyaniding, and induction hardening are some of the processes commonly used to produce the case hardening effect.碳化、氰化、感应淬火是局部淬火中经常使用的处理方法。
