Optimal Design of Traction Gear Modification of High-Speed EMU Based on Radial Basis Function Neural Network

Abstract

The dynamic characteristics of the traction gear transmission system have a great influence on the safety, comfort, and reliability of EMU (electric multiple units). Combining the methods of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and optimization design theory, establishing a parameterized gear modification model. Meanwhile, designing reasonable shape modification schemes and parameters. The dynamic characteristics, vibration response characteristics, and acoustic response characteristics of gear meshing of CRH380A high-speed EMU under continuous traction conditions are analyzed. The corresponding relationship between gear modification parameters and gear transmission radiation noise is approximated by finite element simulation data and RBF (radial basis function) neural network. Using a multi-island genetic algorithm to optimize gear modification parameters to minimize gear transmission noise, further seeking to meet the low-noise modification design of high-speed train traction helical gear transmission system under continuous operating conditions method.
