Abstract

There are many constraints that constitute the Gear Box Design. Golinski’s Speed reducer problem is studied and the weight of the Gear box is minimized. This is done by considering certain design variables of the Gear box, applying Optimization algorithms that provide results which agree upon a resulting weight that is minimum satisfying the concerned design variables.
