摘要

This study presents a hybrid multi-objective optimization framework for the design of a two-stage helical gearbox, aiming to minimize the base area while maximizing transmission efficiency. The Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is employed to generate a diverse Pareto-optimal front of design solutions considering gear ratio distribution and face width coefficients. To identify the best compromise solution from the Pareto front, the Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) method is integrated with Entropy weighting, providing a robust and objective ranking of alternatives. The proposed method allows for a comprehensive trade-off analysis between structural compactness and performance. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the hybrid approach, offering practical guidelines for efficient and space-saving gearbox design.
