Topology optimization of transmission gearbox under multiple working loads

Abstract

This article is concerned with topology optimization of transmission gearbox under multiple working loads by taking dynamic performance as research object. First, the dynamic excitation model and finite element model are established, the vibration responses of the key points on gearbox are obtained by applying dynamic excitation on finite element model based on modal dynamic method, and the simulation responses are compared with testing results to validate finite element model. Finally, the gearbox structure is optimized by utilizing topology optimization method, and the lightweight model of transmission gearbox structure is redesigned. The dynamic performance indexes such as natural frequency are improved obviously, which indicates that the topology optimization method is very effective in optimizing dynamic performance of complex gearbox structure. The research has an important theoretical significance and reference value for lightweight design of transmission gearbox structure.

Topology optimization design and research on a main tower of radar antenna based on finite element method

“…Due to the large size and complex design of the model, the use of hexahedral meshing often ends in failure, while tetrahedral meshing is well adapted. Under the same size conditions, the calculation accuracy of high-order tetrahedral element is not significantly different from that of hexahedral element [10] . Therefore, the tetrahedral meshing method is adopted.…”

Lightweight design of metro gearbox based on topology optimization

“…According to the optimization results, the stress and the deformation of the gearbox cabinet were greatly decreased and this can significantly increase the stiffness and strength of the gearbox after it was optimized. Liang [13] et al focused on the topology optimization of transmission gearboxes under multiple operating loads by taking dynamic performance. The research had great theoretical significance and reference value for the lightweight design of transmission gearbox structure.…”
