• TITLE: DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF A TECHNOLOGICAL GEAR SHAFT
• AUTHOR(S): V. Nikolov, G. P. Tonkov
• ABSTRACT: The research focuses on the design and static load capacity of a technology gear shaft. A new design of the shaft is proposed, consistent with the functionality of the mechanism. The design of the shaft is optimized in dimensions, workability of production, and i nstallation. The technological mechanism works in harsh operating conditions as the gear is open and shock loaded. This adversely affects the other elements and aggregates, including the studied shaft. Design and optimization of the shaft in this operational mode is performed in the software environment of specialized software MITCalc. The results are rich illustrated. They can be used in designing various types of shafts and their multicriteria optimization.
