Now through the end of July, the Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention review article "A Review on Research of Gear Failures in Mechanical Equipment" by Fukang Li, Ning Ding, Mingda Song, Zhenqian Zhong, Long Liu, Xiaomin Shen, Huixia Xu, Linan Tian, Na Xu, Weimin Guo, Chi-Man Lawrence Wu, and Xiangfeng Chen is free access for you to download and read. Investigation of the modes, mechanics, and causes of gear failures is of great significance for industry safety. This article reviews the literature on gear failures analyzed by researchers over the last two decades. The mode and mechanism of gear failures are summarized and organized systematically. The typical characteristics of gear failures are collected and compared. Statistical analysis is conducted on the mechanisms and reasons of gear failures. The general procedure for gear failure analysis such as macroscopic and microscopic investigations is also introduced to help readers understand the failure analysis of gears.
