Abstract:A modified random search methodology for the design of helical gears has been developed. The technique allows for the incorporation of non-linear design functions and constraints without the need for linearization. In addition, the random serarch based method is invariant to the feasibility of the initial design. Application of the proposed optimization method to the helical gear design problem have shown promisisng results. Futhermore, the methodology can be utilized in developing a robust algorithm to initia… Show more
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.
