Abstract :This papeı- prcsents an algorithnı foı· the design of minimum weight of speed reducer., gear train, subject to a specificd set of constraints. The study is p rimari1y aimed to expose the potential of genetic algorithms, to discuss their application capabilities, and to show the concept of these algorithms as optiınization techniques an d their scope of application by implementing them to the speed reducer. Results obtained for the minimum \Veight of speed reducer are prescnted to provide insight into the capabilities of these tecbniques. Genetic algorithms are efficient search techniqucs which are inspircd fronı natural genetics selection process to cxplore a given search space.
