Initial Design of Gears Using an Artificial Neural Net - May/June 1993
The article "Initial Design of Gears Using an Artificial Neural Net" appeared in the May/June 1993 issue of Gear Technology.
Many CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems have been developed and implemented to produce a superior quality design and to increase the design productivity in the gear industry. In general, it is true that a major portion of design tasks can be performed by CAD systems currently available. However, they can only address the computational aspects of gear design that typically require decision-making as well. In most industrial gear design practices, the initial design is the critical task that significantly effects the final results. However, the decisions about estimating or changing gear size parameters must be made by a gear design expert.
