In this paper, a multi-objective optimization scheme integrating structural parameters with control parameters is proposed to address the adverse effects of an unbalanced magnetic pull of the wheel motor on vehicle dynamics. Firstly, the unbalanced magnetic pull under the air gap eccentricity of a switched reluctance motor is analyzed using both Maxwell’s stress method and the principle of virtual displacement. Then, a current chopper control strategy for the in-wheel motor is developed, and the influence of relevant control parameters on the output characteristics of the motor driving system under different driving conditions is discussed. Finally, a multi-objective optimization model of a motor under multiple operating conditions is developed with the aid of multidisciplinary optimization software. Integration of structural and control parameters for optimization. The results show that the motor design parameters determined by the integrated optimization scheme can improve the vehicle’s response characteristics under a wide range of operating conditions. In particular, the negative effect caused by an unbalanced magnetic pull during the operation of the vehicle is greatly suppressed.
