Battery packs used in electrified vehicles exhibit high modal density due to their repeated cell substructures. If the excitation contains frequencies in the region of high modal density, small commonly occurring structural variations can lead to drastic changes in the vibration response. The battery pack fatigue life depends strongly on their vibration response; thus, a statistical analysis of the vibration response with structural variations is important from a design point of view. In this work, parametric reduced-order models (PROMs) are created to efficiently and accurately predict the vibration response in Monte Carlo calculations, which account for stochastic structural variations. Additionally, an efficient iterative approach to handle material nonlinearities used in battery packs is proposed to augment the PROMs. The nonlinear structural behavior is explored, and numerical results are provided to validate the proposed models against full-order finite element approaches.
