Efficient Machine Learning Optimization of Gear Microgeometry and Comparison With Manually Designed Gears

This paper examines the optimization of a gear set in which an idler gear is driven by two input gears; the gear set will be optimized for NVH and durability across both meshes using Advanced-LTCA, a hybrid Hertzian and FE-based loaded tooth contact analysis.
