Volume Optimization of the Worm Gear Using the Python Snake Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

Machine design is a field of research where the process of designing a mechanical element is optimized, having certain goals and limitations in mind. In this paper, PSyOA algorithm was used to optimize volume of worm gear with constant number of variables. The pseudo-code for this algorithm was written using MATLAB R2025a. Applying PSOA algorithm, we obtained optimal or near-optimal results. By further development of this algorithm, this method can be modified and improved in order to obtain better results.
