OPTIMAL DESIGN OF A 2K-h PLANETARY GEARBOX INPUT SHAFT

Ovidiu BUIGA, Simion HARAGÂȘ

Abstract


Designing power transmissions components such as shafts is not an easy task, considering the iterative nature of the process. In this paper a GA was used to automate the complex procedure of shaft mechanical design. The objective of this study is to minimize the mass of the input shaft subassembly. The objective function was described by 7 design variables and was subjected to a set of 19 engineering constraints. The GA conduct to a reduction of mass of 21.6% as compared to traditional design solution.
