Abstract/Summary

This thesis presents the concept of gear arrangement to graph theory. All the graphs considered in this paper are all connected. Gear arrangement which is workable is a planar bipartite graph when it does not contain an arrangement of odd cycles. There are two kinds of planar bipartite graphs : regular and semi-regular planar bipartite graph. Archimedian solids and some solids which are almost Archimedian could be derived from the dual graphs of semi-regular planar bipartite graphs.Most formulae stated in the theorems in this thesis are results given by Gary Gordon in his article, Workable Gears, Archimedian Solids and Planar Bipartite Graphs . The researchers provided some formulae used in creating a more complex semi-regular planar bipartite graphs.
