Abstract

In mechanical design, an important aspect is to keep the volume of design objects to a minimum. It also means reduced the cost of production. So that, using optimization design method in modern designs is necessary. In this paper, a nonlinear optimization method is presented to design a worm-gear driver. The chosen objective function was the volume bounded by the inner surface of the worm and worm-gear as well as obtained an optimum minimum distance between them. It can be observed that the proposed optimal design has the potential to yield considerably better solutions than the traditional heuristics.

Keywords: Optimal design; worm and worm-gear drive; nonlinear method; Branch and Bound algorithm.
