Research of optimal placement of gearbox sensor based on particle swarm optimization

This paper discusses the optimization layout of the acceleration sensor and application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to solve the fitness problems of such optimization. Based on the gearbox finite element modeling and the result of modal analysis, use the particle swarm optimization with adaptive velocity (VPSO) algorithm, and take the two kinds of fitness function as evaluation goal, has realized the optimization and positioning of gearbox sensor layout, analyzed optimization result.
