Furthermore, the dynamic characteristics of both steel and sintered gears were measured using a power cir- culating gear testing machine and were analyzed in a time-frequency domain by the continuous and discrete wavelet transforms. In the case of the failure at the dedendum surface of driven gear, not only the vibration of the gear sets but also the condition of tooth meshing would have to be taken into consideration to diagnose the failed teeth.
