A grey wolf optimizer approach for optimal weight design problem of the spur gear

The weight of gears is an important issue for high performance of the machine elements. Thus, the design of the gear pairs with respect to the minimum weight is an important and attractive subject to study. Various analytical and heuristic approaches were utilized to optimize the weight of gears in previous studies. In this study, the problem of gear optimization as per the minimum weight was solved with Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). GWO is a...
