Objective Statement:
To design a two-stage compound reverted gear train speed reducer, including all simulations/calculations involved, as well as attaching a complete economical analysis of the manufacturing and cost of materials.

Abstract:
A teaching tool such as a case study for design synthesis is especially beneficial in the more niche field of machine element design as they can often connect a bulk of learned material. During the discussed project, team members created a Gantt chart to specify deadlines and continue the project track. Within this Gantt chart, duties were distributed between 6 members over the course of approximately 10 weeks, with members meeting weekly to provide a brief description of their tasks and results. Specific tasks include performing the design sequence set out in the case study of Shigley’s text, Chapter 18 and creating a report synopsis of the provided two-stage compound reverted gear train acting as a speed reducer, replacing the spur gears originally used with helical gears as stated in Problem 18-3 of the text. The design sequence took the bulk of the work, beginning at defining power and torque requirements; then specifying correct gears; displaying the shaft layout; selecting the appropriate material; execution of gearing force, stress, and deflection analyses; and performing a final analysis to examine the overall factors of safety of the system. Through analytical and subsequently computational investigation of the design problem, a solution was found which met ideal design requirements to a reasonable degree of estimation.
