Summary: This paper proposes an efficient process of macro geometry optimization of helical gear pairs using Loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA). By dividing the LTCA model into different types and adjusting the fidelity, an efficient LTCA method is found. Optimization processes are designed based on the analysis results, and it is found that starting with the model considering only the extended contact and ending 5%-10% of the entire optimization process with the highest fidelity model is the most efficient.

Summary: In the development of electric vehicles, multi-speed transmissions are an alternative to single-speed transmissions that require optimization of gear ratios and shifting patterns. The transmission efficiency depends on torque, speed, and drive gear, directly impacting the optimal design. By considering variable transmission efficiency, energy efficiency and dynamic performance can be improved compared to single-speed transmissions.

Summary: Due to the special design of slant bed CNC lathes, the temperature of the X-axis feed motor will significantly increase after power-up, even if there is no feed motion. Based on this phenomenon, experiments were redesigned to study the effects of ambient temperature variations, heat generated in the spindle, and heat generated in the X-axis feed system on thermal errors. The results of these experiments provide a reliable reference for thermal error modeling under complicated operating conditions. A new experiment-based multi-objective modeling method, using the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm, was proposed and showed improved accuracy and reasonability in predicting thermal errors.
