Optimal design of the gear transmission system based on the modal response surface method

Abstract

In order to conduct the lightweight optimization design of the gear transmission system, this paper uses the experimental design response surface method to construct the modal response explicit function of the gear transmission system based on the modal analysis results. Furthermore, the optimized design model of the gear transmission system (including gears, gear shafts, and bearings) is established on the base of the results of the modal response surface, and the optimized design model is solved and optimized through the Fmincon toolbox of MATLAB. By comparing the optimized results, it is shown that the optimization design method proposed in this paper can achieve the optimal design of the gear transmission system, which is of great significance to the optimization design of mechanical engineering.
