Thermal failure analysis and control algorithm improvement for the active controlled mount with consideration of thermal–magnetic coupling

Abstract

This paper proposes an improved narrowband filtered-x least mean square(FxLMS) algorithm to overcome the thermal failure problems of the active controlled mount(ACM). Firstly, the temperature-rising model and the thermal demagnetization model of the ACM are respectively developed. Combining these two models with the powertrain mounting system model, an analytical method is established for the thermal–magnetic coupling analysis of the ACM. Then a numerical simulation is carried out to obtain the permanent magnet(PM) temperature and the coil current. The ACM failure problem is discussed according to the working point trajectory. Finally, an improved algorithm is proposed. This algorithm is able to overcome the thermal failure problems by sacrificing part of the vibration isolation performance. The effectiveness of this algorithm is validated by numerical simulations and a comparison with conventional algorithms.
