Popis: In the realm of precision engineering, the evaluation of stress distributions in complex geometries, such as the end face of gears, is paramount for determining performance characteristics, including the fatigue life of transmission devices. This research introduces a methodology that combines the method of conformal mapping for multiply connected regions with a proposed global scaling factor. This combination facilitates the transformation of stress computations from intricate geometries to a unit circle. By employing this method as a foundation for surrogate models, and by incorporating the Bayesian-enhanced least squares genetic algorithm optimization technique, this study refines the end face stress distribution, particularly considering variations induced by tooth profile modification errors. The results delineate a design parameter domain that is conducive to achieving uniform stress distribution, offering a refined perspective and methodology for the design of cycloidal wheels.
