Abstract

Battery pack casings with a total energy of 12.432 kWh were designed using two types of materials: aluminum alloy and carbon fiber reinforced composite filament based on polyphthalamide or high-performance/high-temperature nylon (PPA-CF). The effectiveness of mechanical metamaterials (lattice and auxetic structures) in mitigating the levels of random vibrations in the battery pack casings was studied using a numerical method. Both structures demonstrate outstanding capabilities with a 97% to 99% reduction in vibration levels in the aluminum casing. However, the capabilities of these structures in mitigating vibration levels in the PPA-CF casing are very limited, in that they can only mitigate approximately 63.8% and 92.8% of the longitudinal vibrations at the top cover of the casing and center of its front and back walls, respectively. Compared to PPA-CF, aluminum alloy shows better vibration mitigation performance with or without structural modification.
