A multi-objective optimal model of a K-H-V cycloid pin gear planetary reducer is presented in this article. The optimal model is established by taking the objective functions of the reducer volume, the force of the turning arm bearing, and the maximum bending stress of the pin. The optimization aims to decrease these objectives and obtains a set of Pareto optimal solutions. In order to improve the spread of the Pareto front, the density estimation metric (crowding distance) of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II is replaced by the k nearest neighbor distance. Then, the improved algorithm is used to solve this optimal model. The results indicate that the modified algorithm can obtain the better Pareto optimal solutions than the solution by the routine design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
