The load sharing characteristics and lightweight were considered as the objectives
so a multi-objective optimization design of torque-split transmission system was conducted. First of all
a non-linear dynamics model of torque-split transmission system was established. Load sharing coefficients under different powers and speeds were calculated to measure load sharing characteristics of torque-split transmission system. Afterwards
a multi-objective optimization model including minimum load sharing coefficient and mass was developed with the torque-split transmission system parameters selected as design variables
and the effects of different working conditions were taken into consideration. In order to improve the solution efficiency
a modified fitness approximation mechanism non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (FA-NSGA) was promoted. Three benchmark functions were used to test the convergence and effectiveness of FA-NSGA. The test results show that satisfactory optimal solutions in all three test functions are achieved by using FA-NSGA
and more than 60% of the computation times of real fitness can be reduced at the same time. Finally
a given instance was solved by using FA-NSGA
and the satisfactory design variables were selected from the Pareto optimal solution. Compared with the reference design
the selected one reduces the load sharing coefficient by 0.05
