The recurrence analysis method is used in the mechanical diagnosis of a gear transmission system using time domain data. The recurrence is a natural behavior of a periodic motion system, which tells the state of the system, after running some time, and will approach a certain past state. In this paper, some statistical parameters of recurrence qualification analysis are extensively evaluated for the use of mechanical diagnosis, based on fairly short acceleration time series; recurrence results are compared with those obtained from Fourier analysis, and the identification procedures for the failure gear transmission by recurrences is also presented. It is found that, using only fairly short time series, some statistical parameters in quantification recurrence analysis can give clear-cut distinction between a healthy and damaged state.
