Battery
packs used in electrified vehicles exhibit high modal density due to
the repeated cell substructures. If the excitation frequency is in the
region of high modal density, small commonly occurring structural
variations can lead to drastic changes in the vibration response.
Because the battery pack fatigue life depends strongly on the vibration
response, a statistical analysis of the vibration response with
structural variations is important from a design point of view. The
parametric reduced order models (PROMs) are developed to efficiently
and accurately predict the vibration response with structural
variations. Additionally, an iteration approach to handle material
nonlinearities has also been built into reduced order models, since
these material nonlinearities are common within battery cells.
