Low-Order Radial Modal Test and Analysis of Drive Motor Stator

Abstract

For a driving motor stator of EDU (Electric Drive Unit) intelligent electric transmission of a domestic plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, modal tests are performed on the motor stator with or without motor shell. Either the hammering method or the frequency sweeping method is used in the test. The modal frequencies, modal shapes, and damping ratios of the first five orders that meet the requirements of the modal confidence criterion are obtained. The influence of the motor shell on the low-order radial modal of the motor stator is discussed. The results show that similar results are obtained in the modal parameter estimation respectively using the hammering method and the frequency sweeping method. They can both be used for low-order radial modal test of the motor stator. The motor stator without shell exhibits a linear structure in the frequency domain. Each modal frequency obtained by the frequency sweeping method is slightly higher than that obtained by the hammering method.
