Abstract:
The development of electric motors for automotive applications requires precise material models to simulate structural strength and NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) properties. Modeling the behavior of lamination stacks, composed of stacked steel plates, presents significant challenges. This study conducted dynamic and quasi-static experiments at various preload levels on an unmodified automotive lamination stack. Significant discrepancies were identified between stiffness values obtained from static and dynamic measurements. Consequently, using dynamically obtained stiffness values in static models, and vice versa, leads to inaccuracies and should be avoided. These results enhance the precision and efficiency of simulations used in the design and optimization of electric motors.
