Abstract
The mechanical failure of battery-pack systems (BPSs) under crush and vibration conditions is a crucial research topic in automotive engineering. Most studies evaluate the mechanical properties of BPSs under a single operating condition. In this study, a dual-objective optimization method based on non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is proposed to evaluate the crushing stress of BPS modules and the vibration fatigue life of the BPS. This method can obtain better combinations of the thicknesses of the BPS components, which helps engineers achieve robust and efficient designs. First, a nonlinear finite element (FE) model of a BPS is developed and experimentally verified. The crush and vibration simulations are performed, and the FE analysis data are obtained. Second, two third-order response surface models are created to characterize the relationship between the input (thicknesses of the BPS components) and the output (crushing stress of the BPS modules and vibration fatigue life of the BPS). Finally, a linear weighting model and an NSGA-II model are used to conduct dual-objective optimization. The solution of the linear weighting method and the non-dominated Pareto solution set of the thicknesses of the BPS components are obtained and compared. Furthermore, a reasonable interval in the Pareto frontier is defined and considered the best solution to the dual-objective optimization problem. Therefore, the reliability of the BPS is improved to ensure the safety of electric vehicles in crushing and vibration environments. This method offers an effective solution to the problem of evaluating the mechanical responses of BPSs under various operating conditions. It can be used to generate a robust design for safe and durable BPSs.
