Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) might cause new noise vibration and harshness (NVH) problems, due to their complex powertrain systems. Therefore, in this paper, a new longitudinal dynamic simulation model of a series-parallel hybrid electric bus with an active torsional vibration control module is proposed. First, the schematic diagrams of the simulation model architecture and the active control strategy are given, and the dynamic models of the main components are introduced. Second, taking advantage of the characteristics of hybrid systems, a method of determining the key dynamic parameters by a bench test is proposed. Finally, in a typical bus-driving cycle for Chinese urban conditions, time domain and frequency domain processing methods are used to analyze vehicle body jerk, fluctuation of rotational speed, and torsional angle of the key components. The results show that the active control method can greatly improve the system’s torsional vibration performance when switching modes and at resonance.

For many high-rising buildings, large local space is very useful for its special function needs, such as conference hall and hotel lobby. The shake table test results of a high-rising building with large local space show that the dynamic characteristics of such structure are complex and the torsional mode becomes the first mode, while the torsional responses under earthquake excitation, especially of the floor just above the large local space, are very remarkable. In this paper, the bidirectional Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is employed for reducing the torsional vibration of such complex high-rise building structure. A reduced-scale model is design and constructed. A series of shake table tests are carried out and the test results indicate that the TMD system is very effective in torsional vibration control of structural system.
