description As the key component of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), the dynamic performance of the power coupling mechanism is found to have a significant effect upon the vibration and noise of the whole vehicle. In this paper, a dynamic model with rigid and flexible bodies of a double planetary gear power coupling mechanism is established. Then, the characteristics of the bearing constraining forces in time domain and frequency domain are simulated and analysed. At the same time, the finite element model of the housing of the power coupling mechanism is established. Then, the vibration response of the housing is analysed under the excitation of the bearing constraining forces, and the vibration displacement of the housing surface is obtained. Furthermore, based on the vibration displacement of the housing surface, a prediction model of housing radiating noise is established. Then, the radiating noise characteristics of the housing and the acoustic contribution of each panel are analysed. Finally, the free damping structure and new stiffener structure are adopted to optimize the rear end cover of the housing. The optimization model based on the vibration acceleration of the rear end cover surface is established by applying K-S function and response surface method. Then, the optimization model is solved by applying the sequential quadratic programming to obtain the optimal structure of the housing. The optimization results demonstrate that the acoustic power level after optimization is decreased by 3.94 dB, 3.92 dB, 5.59 dB, and 2.84 dB at frequencies of 770 Hz, 870 Hz, 1650 Hz, and 2480 Hz, respectively. Therefore, the optimization effect of the housing structure is obvious, and this can be the theoretical basis and reference for reducing the vibration and noise of the power coupling mechanism.
