C ONCLUSIONS

n this work the effect of the speed and in particular the interaction between the bending force and the centrifugal load on crack propagation path in thin-rimmed and webbed gears has been investigated. Firstly a static 2D finite elements study has been carried on to investigate how the above quoted loads may influence I
