TY - EJOU AU - Plaumann, Benedikt TI - Towards Realistic Vibration Testing of Large Floor Batteries for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) T2 - Sound \& Vibration PY - 2022 VL - 56 IS - 1 SN - 2693-1443 AB - This contribution shows an analysis of vibration measurement on large floor-mounted traction batteries of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). The focus lies on the requirements for a realistic replication of the mechanical environments in a testing laboratory. Especially the analysis on global bending transfer functions and local corner bending coherence indicate that neither a fully stiff fixation of the battery nor a completely independent movement on the four corners yields a realistic and conservative test scenario. The contribution will further show what implication these findings have on future vibration & shock testing equipment for large traction batteries. Additionally, it will cover an outlook on how vibration behavior of highly integrated approaches (cell2car) changes the mechanical loads on the cells.
