This work is focused on a fracture mechanics analysis of a spur gear with thin rim. The fatigue crack propagation is numerically studied using special routine implemented in the numerical model. Two criteria for crack kinking are considered: MTS criterion and modified MTS criterion which takes constraint effect into account. Sensitivity analysis of the crack increment size is present. It was found that for the same crack path obtained numerically the MTS criterion requires smaller crack increment in comparison with modified MTS criterion.
