AN UP-TO-DATE LOOK AT MARINE {GEAR TOOTH LOADING

This paper develops an equation relating gear tooth load intensity, expressed as K factor, to the minimum hardness requirements of the gear band material. The equation is derived from an adaptation of the AGMA Fundamental Pitting Durability Formula to marine turbine gearing. The credibility of the resulting equation is examined in light of merchant and naval service experiences.
