Abstract

Electric and hybrid vehicle engines produce a complex spectrum of vibration and noise. Various active mounting techniques have been developed to isolate them. These are designed to continuously control the dynamic characteristics of the mounts and improve the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance under various operating conditions. Active mounts have attracted attention as replacement for existing mounts by simultaneously realizing static and dynamic stiffness, which is important for supporting an engine. Therefore, this study focuses on the vibration isolation performance of the upper plate and lower plate when the structure, including the active mounting system, is applied to multifrequency excitation. The overall modeling is based on the lumped parameter model, and the input signal is applied to the amplitude modulated and frequency modulated signals. The adaptive filter is applied for control, and the normalization least mean square (NLMS) algorithm, which is commonly used in research, is extended to a multi-NLMS algorithm. It is shown that when multifrequency input is applied, the adaptive filter is effectively applied to the active mounting system to control vibration.
