Abstract

Abstract An electric motor mounting bracket is used in electric vehicles, especially hybrid ones using a parallel hybrid configuration. This study aims to analyze the strength and performance of the initial design and topology optimized design. This study uses the finite-element method (FEM) in the bracket design modeling by applying topology optimization. The topology optimization results show a mass reduction of 50% from the initial design mass. In the case of static loading, the results of optimized design 2 have a stress of 142.19 MPa and a safety factor of 3.09. While optimized design 1 has a stress of 313.8 MPa and a safety factor of 1.4. In terms of dynamic loading, the initial design, optimized design 1, and optimized design 2 have the first natural frequency, which is higher than the operating frequency of the electric motor, respectively, 100.49, 69.043, and 74.864 Hz. Optimized design 1 has the lowest natural frequency and the highest amplitude compared to the initial design, and optimized design 2 has lower damping characteristics. The study results conclude that optimized design 2 is superior in static and dynamic loading.

混合动力变流器支架安装结构的性能分析:有限元方法

摘要电动汽车尤其是混合动力汽车采用并联混合动力结构，电动机安装支架是一种常用的电动汽车安装支架。本研究旨在分析初始设计和拓扑优化设计的强度和性能。本文采用拓扑优化的方法，将有限元方法应用于支架设计建模。拓扑优化结果表明，质量比初始设计质量降低了50%。在静载情况下，优化设计2的结果应力为142.19 MPa，安全系数为3.09。优化设计1的应力为313.8 MPa，安全系数为1.4。在动载荷方面，初始设计、优化设计1和优化设计2的第一固有频率分别为100.49、69.043和74.864 Hz，高于电动机的工作频率。与初始设计相比，优化设计1具有最低的固有频率和最高的幅值，优化设计2具有较低的阻尼特性。研究结果表明，优化设计2在静、动荷载作用下均优于优化设计2。

期刊介绍： The aim of Curved and Layered Structures is to become a premier source of knowledge and a worldwide-recognized platform of research and knowledge exchange for scientists of different disciplinary origins and backgrounds (e.g., civil, mechanical, marine, aerospace engineers and architects). The journal publishes research papers from a broad range of topics and approaches including structural mechanics, computational mechanics, engineering structures, architectural design, wind engineering, aerospace engineering, naval engineering, structural stability, structural dynamics, structural stability/reliability, experimental modeling and smart structures. Therefore, the Journal accepts both theoretical and applied contributions in all subfields of structural mechanics as long as they contribute in a broad sense to the core theme.
