Abstract
Loaded meshing transmission performance optimization has been an increasingly significant target for the design and manufacturing of aerospace spiral bevel gears with low noise and high strength. An innovative data-driven multi-objective optimization (MOO) method is proposed for the loaded meshing transmission performances of aerospace spiral bevel gears. Data-driven tooth surface modeling is first used to obtain a curvature analysis of loaded contact points. An innovative numerical loaded tooth contact analysis (NLTCA) is applied to develop the data-driven relationships of machine tool settings with respect to loaded meshing transmission performance evaluations. Moreover, the MOO function is solved by using an achievement function approach to accurate machine tool settings output, satisfying the prescribed requirements. Finally, numerical examples are given to verify the proposed methodology. The presented approach can serve as a powerful tool to optimize the loaded meshing transmission performances with higher computational accuracy and efficiency than the conventional methods.
