Abstract

Abstract This study aims to present the results of an optimization study to find optimum partial gear ratios for two-stage bevel helical gearboxes based on minimizing gearbox cost. In the study, ten main design factors considered as the input parameters are selected to investigate their influences on the responses. Also, a simulation experiment is designed and carried out using computer program. It is found that in addition to the input parameters, their interactions also have important effects in which total ratio gearbox ratio (ug) have the most impact on the u2. Besides, a regression model was proposed to predict the second gear ratios u2. The proposed model is highly consistent to the experimental results. From this model, the other partial gear ratios of the other components are easily determined.KeywordsCost optimizationBevel helical gearboxGear ratioGearbox costSystems engineering
