Numerical and Experimental Investigations of Noise and Vibration Characteristics for a Dual-Motor Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Abstract

This paper investigates the abnormal noise and vibration of a hybrid electric vehicle during the electric-only driving mode. The sources of the noise and vibration are first identified through the frequency analysis, and then several measures are implemented to reduce the noise and vibration level. The experimental results have identified the gear meshing in the compound planetary gear set is the main source of the noise and vibration. The theoretical analysis demonstrates that gear pairs of the short planet-small sun gear and short planet-long planet in the compound planetary gear set contribute to the main noise and vibration of the hybrid system in the electric-only driving mode. This research also shows that the gearmeshing noise level in the compound planetary gear set can be decreased significantly by matching the engagement parameters, such as meshing stiffness, tooth error, and pitch error. The observation results in this paper are able to provide a practical reference for improving the ride comfort of hybrid electric vehicles in the future study.

New Equivalent model and Modal Analysis of Stator Core-Winding System of Permanent Magnet Motor With Concentrated Winding

“…11 is the natural frequency of each mode of the stator core. In the experimental test results, the modal order of the stator core includes (2, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0), (3, 1), (4, 0), (4,1) and (5,0). The same order can be obtained by model analysis.…”

“…As motor design is key to the development of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid EVs (HEVs), it has recently become the subject of considerable interest [1]- [3]. An accurate prediction of modal characteristics of motor stator is essential in order to design a low vibration motor and to operate it quietly [4], [5].…”

Dynamic analysis of the flexible hub-beam system based on rigid-flexible coupling mechanism

“…We can obtain the final constant speed of the rotating system when the maximum stress of the structural components in a rotating system reaches its material yield stress and use the value of constant speed as the maximum or critical speed of the rotating system structural components for the rotating system in the linear elastic range. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The flexible hub-beam system [16][17][18][19][20] is the most representative rigid-flexible coupling dynamic system, and its dynamic analysis and control has been a research focus for scholars at home and abroad. The traditional modeling method is based on the Proc IMechE Part K: J Multi-body Dynamics 2020, Vol.…”

“…The flexible hub-beam system 16–20 is the most representative rigid-flexible coupling dynamic system, and its dynamic analysis and control has been a research focus for scholars at home and abroad. The traditional modeling method is based on the hypothesis of small deformation in structural dynamics and the mixed coordinate method to establish its dynamic model, which is also known as the zero-order approximate coupling model.…”

Artificial Auditory Perception Pattern Recognition System Based on Spatiotemporal Convolutional Neural Network

“…With the increasingly strong recognition ability of a neural network framework, many models can complete multi-task learning [19,20]. It even plays a role in the perception of user comfort [21]. The pattern recognition model based on statistics is difficult to label mixed data effectively.…”
