Inertia Parameters Identification of Motor Assembly for Electric Vehicles Based on Modal Test Method

Inertia parameters are essential for motor assembly mounting design, which mainly includes the mass, center of mass (CM) coordinates, moment of inertia and product of inertia. This paper explains the principle and methods of modal test method. One vehicle drive motor assembly is taken as the research object, its inertia parameters are identified using this modal test method. Finally test error analysis is also performed.
