2016 Gear Failure Analysis

When

9/21/16 1:00 am EST

Event Description

Big Sky, Montana. The Gear Failure Analysis seminar provides participants the skills necessary to diagnose gear failures and prescribe remedies. This presentation covers six classes of gear tooth failure: overload, bending fatigue, hertzian fatigue, wear, scuffing and cracking. Each failure mode is illustrated by color slides and field samples because of the magnification inherent in slide projection. However, it is important to examine the field samples because there is no substitute for hands-on experience that students experience. Working in small groups, students participate in a hands-on practical exam using field samples and a case study. Instructors include Robert Errichello and Jane Muller.
