A powerful optimization method is proposed in this study for the minimal dimensional design problem of gearbox. It is a general model that is suitable to use for any series of gear drives system and can extract both dimensional and layout of components-limited optimization design together. The objective function in this study has many local extremes so for avoiding this situation, various const...

The paper presents a model for the torsional dynamics of an automotive driveline equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), focusing on gear rattle phenomenon arising during transients engagement and disengagement clutches, synchronizing manoeuvres. This vibro-acoustic phenomenon, particularly annoying in transmissions, can be accentuated by presence many unloaded gears this type gearbox. sy...

introduction: the appropriate-use optimization of the limited spaces of the iranian hospitals is believed to be a crucial step towards promoting the efficiency of these healthcare centers. the issue determining the optimization patterns of the layout of units has led to a lot of efforts by researchers as it increases the efficiency of the hospitals through patients’ improvement, changing the lo...

In this paper, a study on the applications of the optimization and regression techniques for optimal calculation of partial ratios of helical gearboxes with second-step double gear-sets for minimal cross section dimension is introduced. From the condition of the moment equilibrium of a mechanic system including three gear units and their regular resistance condition, models for calculation of t...

The torque control of wind turbines in below-rated wind speeds involves a trade-off between power capture and generator loads. This paper explores this fundamental trade-off in the presence of preview wind information. A continuous-time optimal control problem is formulated on a one-state nonlinear turbine model. The numerical solution of this problem gives the Pareto optimal relationship betwe...

The integrated design of the drivetrain of a single person ultra light electric vehicle powered by batteries is optimized towards high efficiency and low mass. The drivetrain of each front wheel consists of an outer rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), a gearbox and the power electronics with converter and control print. The complete drivetrain is optimized for the New European Driv...

This paper concentrates on a new procedure which experimentally recognises gears and bearings faults of a typical gearbox system using a least square support vector machine (LSSVM). Two wavelet selection criteria Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy are used and compared to select an appropriate wavelet for feature extraction. The fault diagnosis method co...
