6.3.3 INFLUENCE OF THE FLYWHEEL’S MOI ON FREQUENCY
RESPONSE
With the aim to analyze the MOI of flywheel that influences the powertrain TV under different
excitations, the MOI of flywheel is set to 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, and 1.50 of related parameters in
the simulations. e MOI of the flywheel is 0.28 kgm
2
. Consequently, the MOI of flywheel is
set to 0.14, 0.21, 0.28, 0.35, and 0.42 kgm
2
.
Using the engine as the excitation source, the flywheel inertia is changed in the ADAMS
dynamics model for FV analysis. e frequency domain response of the planet carrier is shown
in Fig. 6.11. e frequency domain response of the differential is shown in Fig. 6.12.
From Figs. 6.11 and 6.12, we can see that the change of the MOI of the flywheel causes
the first order natural frequency to change. e larger the flywheel’s MOI, the smaller the first
order natural frequency of the powertrain. In addition, it is also found that the when the engine
becomes an input excitation, increasing the flywheel’s MOI of can reduce the response amplitude
of the carrier and the differential over the entire frequency band. Consequently, for the hybrid
powertrain, increasing the flywheel’s MOI is beneficial to reduce the twisting vibration of the
drive train, which improves the ride comfort performance of the car.
6.3.4 INFLUENCE OF VARYING STIFFNESS OF HALF SHAFT ON
FREQUENCY RESPONSE
With the aim to analyze TS of half shaft that influence the powertrain TV, the TS of half shaft
are set to 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, and 1.50 of related parameters in the simulations. e TS the half
shaft are 5520 and 4222 Nm/rad, respectively. Consequently, the stiffness of the left half shaft
