Li, 2017 - Anti-Vibration Safety Performance Research of Battery Pack Based On FEM in EV
Abstract: The battery pack anti-vibration safety was analysed by structural intensity Finite Element Analytical Method and the
battery pack intensity, stiffness and anti-vibration FEA model were established. As a guide of FEA calculation results,
optimization design about battery pack inside and outside structure and welding method were used. The battery pack intensity,
stiffness and anti-vibration safety performance were improved greatly. The test and simulation were proved that optimized
battery pack should pass GB test and have excellent anti-vibration safety.
Key Words: Battery pack, Anti-vibration performance, Failure analysis

7 Conclusion
EV battery pack anti-vibration performance was be
analysed by FEA in this paper. According GB vibration test
requirement, life-span analysis method was put forwarded
and simulation conditions was sum up. Battery pack
simulation analysis model was built by FEA
software.According to simulation, the battery pack structure
and mounting bracket thickness was optimization design to
improve anti-vibration performance of battery pack.
The results of this study show that FEA method is
effective optimization design method and can effectively
improve the efficiency of the analysis. Battery pack can
have superior anti-vibration performance by targeted
optimization design.
