The CFRP gears were milled from a composite plate and tested in mesh with a steel drive gear under five torque loads ranging between 0.4 and 0.8 Nm in unlubricated conditions. A detailed gear damage analysis is conducted by employing scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution optical microscopy. Epoxy matrix microcracking is found to be the damage mechanism that leads to the final delamination failure. CFRP gears exhibited a significantly improved performance and a longer fatigue lifespan in comparison with the polymer and polymer composite gears.</dc:description><dc:date>2021</dc:date><dc:date>2021-09-16 10:56:09</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>130619</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></rdf:Description></rdf:RDF>
