摘要

In this study selection of optimum module, shaft diameter and rolling bearing for conical gear has been done using genetic algorithm (GA). GA, is a novel stochastic method of optimization. GAs are based on the principles of natural selection and evolutionary theory. Objective function was optimized for the design variables between determined boundary values. The GA was constrained by taking into account the power, moment, velocity, wall thickness and bearing distances. Tooth strength and surface crush were considered to be design constraints for module optimization. The other algorithm constraints are maximum bending and torsion moments for shaft optimization, and working life for bearing optimization.
