Active Mitigation Strategy of Structure-Borne Vibration with Complex Frequency Spectra from Asymmetric Plate-like Mounting Systems in Next Generation Mobilities

Abstract

The complicated spectrum produced by electric and hybrid car engines is particularly sensitive to the mid-frequency range. Furthermore, sensor placement in future mobility is crucial because when the positions and orientations of sensors are altered by excessive vehicle vibration, it results in the malfunctioning of autonomous driving systems. Smart structure-based active mounting approaches have been developed to reduce engine-induced vibration. These are made to continually adjust the mounts’ dynamic properties and enhance their performances in terms of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) under diverse operating circumstances. It can take the place of the engine support system’s current mount technique. The performance of the source part for reducing vibration when the structure is triggered by a sinusoidal and multi-frequency signal is the main subject of this study. The overall structure, which has two active mounts based on the source-paths-receiver structure, was modeled using a lumped parameter model. In the source section, sinusoidal, amplitude modulation (AM), and frequency modulation (FM) signals were used in order to assess the effectiveness of vibration reduction in the mid-frequency band. The normalized least mean-square (NLMS) technique was utilized to assess the effectiveness of an active mounting system, and a tracking signal was employed as a control signal. The algorithm was further expanded to the multi-NLMS algorithm to monitor the complex spectral signal. This demonstrates how an active mounting system can successfully reduce vibrations when the structure is activated by many mid-frequency complex signals.
