1. The project aims to design and analyze an aluminum casing for electronic control units (ECUs) used in electric bikes to address heat generation and dissipation issues. 2. Objectives include solid modeling the casing in SOLIDWORKS, conducting finite element analysis including modal, harmonic, and thermal analysis to evaluate heat generation and response to vibrations, and testing the best design. 3. The methodology involves designing the ECU casing, performing static structural, modal, harmonic and thermal analyses, optimizing for heat dissipation and vibration resistance, fabricating and testing the new design, and comparing test results to finite element analysis.

Synopsis

Title of the proposed Project Work: - Design, and analysis of aluminum casing for ECU’s used
in Electric Bike.

Brief Information of the Project: - The Government has started giving the subsidy scheme to
promote Clean India Green India and increase the use of the electric vehicle in country. By the
end of 2022 the country will be well occupied by electric Bikes which will solve all the fuel
related issues. Till now the electric bikes have been successful product of many companies.
However the only issue which is seen to be occur in electric bikes is the Heat Generation by its
components and its dissipation. So it become very necessary to design the casing of ECU such
that the heat generated by the components of the ECU does not harm the rider and also should
not affect the performance and reliability. So the proper dissipation of heat between ECU casing
and surrounding is very important issue to be solved in Electric Bikes. Further these Electronic
Control Unit housings are subjected to various harmonic vibration loads generated at various
RPM levels. These Project work is focused on design and analysis of Aluminum casing for
ECU’s used in electric bikes which will all together be more helpful in effective dissipation of
heat and efficient against the different vibrational forces and not hamper the performance of
electric bikes.

Objectives:-
1. Design a casing of electronic control unit (ECU) using SOLIDWORKS17 for solid
modelling.
2. Perform FEA Analysis (Modal, Harmonic and Thermal analysis) to investigate mode
shape and response of enclosure at specified frequency ranges and also the heat
generation in housing and its dissipation.
3. Perform Thermal Analysis for different casing options available and choose one which is
best in thermal performances.
4. Manufacturing and testing of the best design option from optimization techniques.

Methodology & Experimental Setup:-


1. To design the casing used for ECU’s (Electronic Control Unit) in Electric Bikes.
2. Perform static structural, modal analysis and harmonic analysis which will be used to
investigate mode shape and response of enclosure at specified frequency ranges for the
Aluminum ECU housing.
3. Performing the thermal Analysis for housing and evaluating the rate of heat dissipation
through it.
4. Finding the thermal stress on housing using the Static thermal analysis.
5. To use different techniques for finding the best possible housing optimized in aspect of
efficient heat dissipation, resistance against the vibrational force and also checking
manufacturing feasibility.
6. To fabricate and perform experimental test on the new design using accelerometer or impact
hammer or FFT analyzer.
7. Compare the results from test with the FEA performed.

Expected Outcomes: New optimum design for the ECU’s housing which can withstand various
harmonic vibration loads generated by engine and solve the problem of heat generated by electric
bike component in ECU casing.
