The Efficiency Analysis and Optimization of Gear Trains

Abstract:

A kinematic analysis is apply to gear trains of the main reducer of helicopter , and established the mathematical model of the system structure and layout of the gear trains use the graph theory representation to caculate the mechanical efficiency of it base on the kinematics, moment balance theory, power conservation principle and so on. The paper also introduced the constrained optimization function to carried on the gear train to increase the efficiency of the gear trains and improve the layout of the system structure, which to provide the basis of system structural analysis and design of the reducer.
