Gear Stress Analysis (1) - Wednesday 16 May 2012, The Design Unit, Stephenson Building, Newcastle University - Primarily aimed at the gear designer or end-user who wants to gain an insight into the calculation of tooth bending - and contact stresses in accordance with ISO 6336 and to learn how to adjust designs to optimize performance. Hands-on use of an ISO6336 computer progam is included.

Gear Measurement (2) - Thursday 14 June 2012, The Design Unit, Stephenson Building, Newcastle University - The seminar aim is to develop the interpretation skills of gear personnel who are already involved with measurement processes. Two areas are addresssed: the recognition of the cause of manufacturing errors by the careful interpretation of measurement results and the control of the measuring process by using appropriate calibration procedures to quantify the measuring instrument uncertainty.

Introduction to Gear Noise - Thursday 13 September 2012, The National Brewery Centre, Horninglow Street, Burton on Trent DE14 1NG - Aimed principally at gear users rather than designers.  It looks at the basic causes of gear noise and the path from initial gear design and manufacturing errors to the final noise generation.  Enables delegates to understand what is actually happening and  how to problem solve using various test methods.
