Abstract
This chapter presents a detailed discussion on the three most frequent gear failure modes. These include tooth bending fatigue, tooth bending impact, and abrasive tooth wear. Tooth bending fatigue includes surface contact fatigue (pitting), rolling contact fatigue, contact fatigue (spalling), thermal fatigue, and shaft fatigue. Tooth bending impact includes tooth shear, tooth chipping, case crushing, and torsional shear.
