Lever Analogy Diagrams in Teaching Compound Planetary Gear TrainsAbstractThe planetary gear trains are widely used in many automotive, aerospace and marineapplications. The planetary gear trains are introduced to undergraduate mechanical engineeringstudents in the course of Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines. Traditional methods ofanalyzing planetary gear trains, by means of torque and speed calculations, tend to be slow andcumbersome. The complexity involved has, no doubt, kept many students from becomingfamiliar with the capability of planetary gearing. It is our intent in this paper to describe thelever analogy method of analysis and to present a miniature ‘cookbook’ of levers for variousplanetary arrangements

Generally, such a concentration requires little or no coursework beyond thenormal degree requirements for the major, only that the student select his or her electives in aparticular way.Concentrations are a way for students to prepare themselves for further studies or targetedemployment in a given specialty field. They also have an impact on recruiting, as they capturethe imagination of prospective students and help them envision themselves following a dreamcareer.

Though the mechanical engineering program has,for more than twenty years, required a life science course, it still faces the challenge as tohow to provide its graduates with some biomedical background without displacing topicsneeded for more conventional mechanical engineering careers in energy, aerospace, ormanufacturing. The Department has taken two approaches to address this issue. In thefirst approach the Department has created a Biomechanical Engineering concentration,which appears on the student’s transcript, and utilizes the four technical electivesrequired in the mechanical engineering program.
