Abstract

This paper is concerned with detecting and monitoring the growth of a tooth root crack in a gearbox. It uses the reciprocal of the Kurtosis of the beta distribution 1/k for each tooth period, as the damage indicator. A general equation to generate the statistical moments strictly in terms of the a and P parameters of the beta function is developed. To monitor the growth of the crack, a new index, called the "Kurtosis Index", is formulated from 1/k's of all the teeth. This index correlates well with the size of the crack, and it shows that small cracks can be detected.
