Synthesis of Planetary Gears by Means of Artificial Intelligence Approach ‒ Graph-Theoretical Modeling

Abstract:

Graph-based modeling of planetary gears was applied in the presented research work for their synthesis. The tailored Hsu and contour graphs were used. Graphs encode the structure (layout) of a planetary gear and upon them - the systems of equations can be generated. These systems enable determination of rotational velocities of planetary gear elements. The method is algorithmic and simple. It allows for an easy comparison of different design solutions and selection of the most appropriate one. The list of the possible modes of operation for an exemplary planetary gear is also provided in the paper.
