Failure Analysis of Mechanical Power Transmission Components

Mechanical Power Transmission is a very dynamic field of activity with various applications ranging from the chain on a bicycle, the gearbox on a wind turbine, or the drive train of an automobile. Understand the causes of failures of components like shaft, gears and bearings, help to better avoid them. For this reason, the implement of an appropriate corrective actions using a structured failure analysis approach is very important.
