시뮬레이티드 어닐링 알고리즘을 이용한 기어열의 최적 기어비 분할법 개발

Abstract

This paper reviews the existing methods to divide the gear ratios of multi-stage gear train, and proposes a simulated annealing-based algorithm to find the best ratios. The existing methods have their own limitations to be used in practical design, and are also problematic to be automated in a design system. However, the proposed algorithm is a general one which can be applied to gear trains having any number of stages, and offers a satisfactory result in a very short time. It is expected to be useful as a design sub-module of the design system for multi-stage gear drives.
