Abstract

The electromechanical transmission (EMT) systems of hybrid special vehicles are highly susceptible to severe transient torsional resonance under frequent start-stop operating conditions. Traditional entire-frequency domain H active vibration reduction strategies are often limited by insufficient gain, failing to achieve ultimate suppression within the core resonance frequency band. To address this issue, this paper proposes a finite-frequency H active torsional vibration suppression strategy based on a motor dual-loop control architecture. This strategy achieves a profound physical decoupling between torsional vibration suppression and steady-state driving tasks. Furthermore, by introducing the Generalized Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov (GKYP) lemma and Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) into the secondary loop, the control degrees of freedom are precisely concentrated on the 8–30 Hz frequency band, where the transient resonance energy is highly localized. This thoroughly eliminates the conservatism inherent in entire-frequency designs. To mitigate the instability risks caused by unmeasurable states and actuator response lags in practical engineering applications, a robust controller integrating input time-delay compensation and dynamic output feedback is subsequently constructed. Numerical case studies and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test results based on a specific EMT configuration demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively overcomes the instability induced by system delays. It achieves an outstanding resonance peak attenuation of up to 93% and strictly constrains output shaft torque fluctuations within a safe threshold of 50 N·m. Ultimately, this study provides an efficient and robust closed-loop engineering solution for the transient vibration management of high-power electromechanical transmission systems and the enhancement of overall vehicle NVH performance.
