Vehicle Interior Vibration Simulation-a Tool for Engine Mount Optimization

By new advancements in vehicle manufacturing vehicle quality evaluation and assurance has become a more critical issue. In present work, the vibration transfer path analysis and vibration path ranking of a car interior has been performed. The method is similar to classical multilevel TPA methods but has distinct differences. The method is named VIVS which stands for Vehicle Interior Vibratio...

Design Optimization and Development of Vibration Analysis Program for Engine Mount System

Engine mount is purposed to control an excessive motion generated from powertrain system and to isolate vibration and noise to be transmitted to main system. As vibration design of engine mount is one of the main items on the phase of vehicle development, the design should be optimized considering various design variables and uncertainties. In the study, design optimization of engine mount for ...

Grazing Bifurcations and Chaos of a Hydraulic Engine Mount

The constitutive relationships of the rubber materials that act as the main spring of a hydraulic engine mount are nonlinear. In addition to material induced nonlinearity, further nonlinearities may be introduced by mount geometry, turbulent fluid behavior, temperature, boundary conditions, decoupler action, and hysteretic behavior. In this research all influence the behavior of the system only...
