The frame of a low-speed electric vehicle was treated as the research object in the paper. The fatigue load of the frame was analyzed with multi-body dynamics method and the fatigue life of frame was analyzed with the nominal stress method. Firstly, the multi-body dynamics model of the vehicle was established and the multi-body dynamics simulation was carried out to simulate the condition where the vehicle used to travel. The fatigue load history of the frame was obtained from the simulation. Secondly, the amplitude-frequency characteristic of the fatigue load was analyzed. The frequency of the fatigue load mainly focused on 0~20HZ from the analysis. Thirdly, the modal of frame was analyzed. As the frequency of the fatigue load was less than the natural frequency of the frame, the quasi-static method was selected to calculate the stress history of the frame. Next, the fatigue life of the frame was analyzed based on S-N curve.

Aiming at the problem that the evaluation model had proposed by researchers to evaluate the drivability of a vehicle in the process of engine start to exist poor stability and poor accuracy. In this paper, a drivability evaluation model combined with principal component analysis and support vector regression is proposed. In this evaluation model, the principal component analysis is adapted to determine the input index of evaluation model, and the drivability evaluation model is built on the basis of support vector regression. The experimental results demonstrate that the drivability evaluation model is proposed by this paper has higher accuracy and stability than the model using the BP neural network. This method can be as well extended to other evaluation models, with higher theoretical guidance and application value in practical issues.
