An innovative statistical methodology and generic expressions have been developed for the ratio of the dynamic mean excitation to the transmitted mean load under the influence of the important gear characteristics. Simple expressions have been established for identifying cases in which the dynamic mean excitation is more than, less than, or equal to the transmitted mean load.
