Design and parameter optimization of a new type in-wheel motor drive electric vehicle vibration reduction system

Abstract

In order to reduce the problem of unsprung mass increased caused by using of in-wheel motor, resulting in poor ride comfort of in-wheel motor drive (IWMD) electric vehicle. A new type in-wheel motor drive electric vehicle vibration reduction system is designed based on the special structure of axial flux motor, and the stator of axial flux motor is suspended by rubber bushing and stator suspension. Then the effectiveness of the designed IWMD electric vehicle vibration reduction system is verified by simulation analysis. The parameters of the designed IWMD electric vehicle vibration reduction system is optimized by orthogonal experiment to further improve which vibration reduction performance, and the optimal parameters scheme of the designed IWMD electric vehicle vibration reduction system is determined by comparative simulation analysis.
