A differential evolution algorithm for tooth profile optimization with respect to balancing specific sliding coefficients of involute cylindrical spur and helical gears

Abstract

Profile shift has an immense effect on the sliding, load capacity, and stability of involute cylindrical gears. Available standards such as ISO/DIS 6336 and BS 436 DIN/3990 currently give the recommendation for the selection of profile shift coefficients. It is, however, very approximate and usually given in the form of implicit graphs or charts. In this article, the optimal selection values of profile shift coefficients for cylindrical involute spur and helical gears are described, using a differential evolution algorithm. The optimization procedure is developed specifically for exact balancing specific sliding coefficients at extremes of contact path and account for gear design constraints. The obtained results are compared with those of standards and research of other authors. They demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the applied method. A substantial improvement in balancing specific sliding coefficients is found in this work.

Highly efficient traction drive system with a normal force controller using a piezoelectric actuator

“…Neglecting the effect of temperature rise of the oil film (i.e. exp ( À bzmP mean U 1 S) = 1) at a small slip ratio (S) yields equation (3), where C 1 is expressed as equation ( 4)…”

“…A highspeed motor with a conventional gear system generates much noise because of teeth contact. Although studies of gear noise reduction are in progress, 3,4 the mechanical configuration of a gear system in which a contact period and a non-contact period are repeated intermittently does not permit perfect noise reduction. Accordingly, the traction drive, a speed reducer with no teeth, has been attracting attention.…”

Choosing Profile Shift Coefficients for Spur Gears

“…The specific sliding function can be represented by a continuous hyperbola which has zero value at pitch point and from this point it is continuously increasing towards the border point of the contact path. Abderazek, Ferhat, Atanasovska, Boualem [4] prepared a computer program, based on different criterias, to make the balancing of specific sliding coefficients at the border points of the contact path. The optimization can be made exactly, at all numbers of teeth.…”

“…Solving practical problems of design and optimization in engineering today is most often based on the application of different optimization algorithms. 14 There are many examples of successful application of optimization algorithms in solving problems of structural design of machine elements and constructions, such as those presented in Pavlović et al, 15 Abderazek et al, 16 Bižić et al, 17 Pavlović et al, 18 and Atanasovska and Momčilović. 19 Recent years, one of the most popular algorithms in solving the engineering and technical problems is Marine Predators Algorithm – MPA.…”
