Abstract	A computer program for the calculation of the equivalent single-wheel load of any gear configuration using the Boussinesq solution for a circular load on a linear elastic half space is presented. Instructions as well as an example problem are included to demonstrate the use of the program. Recommendations on the implementation and user interface of engineer computer programs are also provided.
