Abstract

One of the most important engineering problems today is the optimization of systems and process parameters. Optimization is one of the longest and most costly steps to conclude for many multidisciplinary studies. Numerical analysis has been a widely applied approach to reduce this cost of time and money. In this study, first of all, a gearbox with geometric dimensions is modeled using Matlab commercial package software. The created model was then subjected to finite element analysis via student version of Ansys commercial package. The strength of the system was examined over the stress and deformation values obtained in those analysis. Considering the equivalent von Mises stress values obtained in the study, a maximum 200 MPa design on the gear wheels and a two-fold safe design according to the yield limit was revealed. In addition, a Matlab software that reveals the welding path for the reducer outer sleeve and jib crane has also been produced in this study.

Dişli Kutusu Tasarımında Parametre Optimizasyonu İçeren Bir Matlab Kodunun Oluşturulması

Abstract

Günümüz mühendislik problemlerinden önemli bir tanesi de sistemlerin optimize edilmesidir. Optimizasyon, birçok multi disipliner çalışma için sonuçlandırılması en uzun ve en maliyetli adımlardan biridir. Bu maliyetin azaltılması amacıyla numerik yöntemlerden faydalanmakta yaygın uygulanan bir yaklaşım olmuştur. Bu çalışmada öncelikle Matlab ticari paket programı kullanılarak geometrik boyutları ortaya koyulan bir redüktör modellenmiştir. Oluşturulan model daha sonra sonlu elemanlar analizlerine tabi tutulmuştur. Analizlerde elde edilen gerilme ve deformasyonlar değerleri üzerinden sistemin mukavemeti incelenmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen eşdeğer von Mises gerilme değerlerine bakıldığında dişli çarklar üzerinde maksimum 200 MPa düzeyinde ve akma sınırına göre iki kat emniyetli tasarım ortaya konulmuştur.
Ayrıca çalışmada redüktör dış kovanı ve pergel vinç için kaynak yolu ortaya koyan bir Matlab yazılımı da üretilmiştir.
