  • Methods and Devices of Detecting Frictional Interference of a Mechanical Component Within a Vehicle
    Publication number: 20220163490
    Abstract: Methods and devices for detecting frictional interference of one or more mechanical components within a vehicle that are driven by an electric motor. The testing includes: determining that an amount of current drawn by the electric motor while driving the one or more mechanical components is above a predetermined threshold; detecting vibrations caused by the one or more mechanical components while being driven by the electric motor; analyzing the vibrations by a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT); and based on an output from the FFT, determining the frictional interference of the one or more mechanical components.
