In order to improve the power density, the aviation gear is usually made of thin wall structure such as thin web and thin rim, but this will make the gear highly flexible, resulting in decreased dynamic performance. In high-speed thin-walled gear design, how to balance lightweight and dynamic performance to make the system performance optimal is a big problem. Therefore, firstly considering the influence of thin-walled gear, shaft, housing and other components flexibility, gear 6 degrees of freedom, centrifugal force, inertia force, the flexible multi-body dynamics model of high-speed thin-walled gear system is established, and verified by experiments. Secondly, a multi-objective lightweight optimization design method for high-speed thin-walled gears based on flexible gear dynamics is proposed. In the optimization design, based on the dynamic simulation of high-speed thin-walled gear, the evaluation indexes of dynamic performance, strength and fatigue life are established. The parameter-performance correlation analysis method is used to select the most influential parameters for optimization. Finally, the multi-objective lightweight design research is carried out, and the high-speed thin-walled gear system with lower vibration noise and lighter weight compared to traditional designs is obtained.
