INFLUENCE OF SHOCK ABSORBER IN BATTERY

PACK’S HOUSING OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

USING FEA AND UTM
 ABSTRACT
• Crash simulation analysis of the battery pack in order to increase the stiffness
when the electric vehicle is involved in traffic accident.
• In project the study presents the steps required to create the crash analysis of the
battery pack. The CAD design of the assembly model is generated using advanced
modelling techniques for two simulations battery pack models: the first model has
a basic shape geometry and the second model has a shock absorber mounted on
the external faces to reduce the crash impact.
• The crash analysis of the battery pack is determined for three velocity cases: 7
m/s, 14 m/s and 21 m/s. The final part of the paper presents the simulation results
and different advantages of the battery pack geometry with the shock absorber.
 INTRODUCTION
• The current market for electric vehicles (EV) is no longer a question
of speculation and analysis predictions. The introduction in the market
in 2017 of the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 models (with an average
range of over 250 km on a single charging of energy source) was the
event that marked a new era for the automotive industry.
• The latest trends from the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway
and Denmark) is concerning the ban on the sale of vehicles equipped
with internal combustion engines, underlining once again the use of
EVs as a future sustainable means of transport.

 INTRODUCTION
• Together, automotive manufacturers, battery/energetic sources
producers, regulatory agencies and the car insurance domain
should be prepared to cope with this growing problem
resulting from the increased number of EVs in circulation.
• This implies the necessity of carrying out studies and
researches aimed at identifying the constructive solutions
(both at the micro-level of the electrochemical cell and at the
macro level of the battery pack in its entirety) that provide the
protection required for the battery pack (the energy source) in
the case of impact or road accident.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Generally, if the battery (pack) is damaged during a road accident, it
has the potential to cause a fire and/or explosion hazard.
• This immediate danger is amplified by the increasing capacity of
energy storage for lithium-ion cells used in the construction of the
battery pack of an EV, and thus the stored large energy can be released
suddenly during a vehicle accident
