About
Dr. S. Senthilvelan is a leading researcher in polymer gear technology, with a primary focus on the mechanical design, manufacturing, and performance evaluation of injection-moulded polymer spur gears. His major contributions lie in bridging experimental and numerical methods to understand the transmission characteristics of steel-polymer gear meshes, a critical area for precision motion applications in robotics and satellite launchers. His highly cited 2016 work, which developed a specialized test rig to simulate and measure static transmission errors, has garnered 14 citations, underscoring its foundational impact on the field. By systematically evaluating how manufacturing processes influence gear behaviour, Dr. Senthilvelan has advanced the reliable use of lightweight, cost-effective polymer gears in demanding engineering systems. His research not only provides essential data for design engineers but also establishes methodologies for assessing gear performance under real-world conditions, making him a key figure in the evolution of polymer gearing for high-precision applications.
